Central Air Conditioners

At Laird and Son Heating & Air Conditioning we handle several brands of central air conditioners. These are the style which are added to a tradional Toronto area forced air heating system ducted through the house. About 85% of GTA homes would use this type of system regardless of the fuel their forced air furnace uses. You've seen those familiar square boxes outside many houses, this is most likely the condensing unit of a central air conditoner. It may also be called a split system because there is a second component call the evaporator coil which is installed inside the duct near the furnace. The household air passes through this coil to be cooled and dehumidifed then sent through your duct system using the furnace blower the same as your heated air does. The central air conditoner typically uses your existing thermostat or a modern replacement heat/cool model if appropriate. Our home comfort consultants will be happy to discuss central air condtioning, ductless air conditioning or attic based air conditioning with you.
