Central Air Conditioning Systems: Central air conditioning is a system that cools more than one room in a house or building. A central air-conditioning system blows cooled and/or dehumidified air through ductwork to deliver it throughout the interior room spaces. In most cases, it employs an air handler (blower) and ductwork of a forced-air furnace for this cool-air delivery. This is, of course, different than a portable room or window air conditioner, which is meant to cool only a single room. Wilson Brothers HVAC will help you determine the right size system for your home comfort needs. We begin by conducting an energy analysis of your home. We’ll measure the windows, check the insulation, ductwork, and building materials, plus other things that directly affect system size. Then, we’ll help you select a system that fits your lifestyle and home comfort requirements. We’ll recommend equipment and accessories manufactured of only the best quality. We install equipment with the highest energy efficient ratings available today. High Efficiency Ratings Make Dollars and Sense
If you currently have central air conditioning that was installed prior to 1992, it is probably a 10 SEER or lower. The estimated annual cost to cool a home with an 8.00 SEER rated air conditioner is as much as $1,200. An American Standard 15 SEER unit can cool the same size home for about $635. That’s a savings of $565 or 47%! Now, that makes dollars and sense, doesn't it?

Advantages: Central air conditioning cools multiple rooms at once. If you currently have a forced hot air heating system with ductwork, it is very easy to add air conditioning. Disadvantages: If your home does not already have ductwork, installation can be time intensive. Key System Features: • ACCULINK™ COMMUNICATING SYSTEM
AccuLink™ Communicating System is an integrated and self-configuring system that makes it possible for your components to automatically talk to each other.
• SEER RATING
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, a rating that measures the cooling efficiency of a heat pump or air conditioner
• TWO-STAGE
Two-stage heating and cooling is considered to be more efficient, because it operates at a low, energy-saving speed most of the time. However, on days when more heating or cooling is required, it switches to the next stage for maximum comfort.
• VARIABLE SPEED MOTOR(S)
The fan motor inside higher efficiency indoor and outdoor units is designed to change its speed based on your home's requirements.

Ductless Systems: A ductless air conditioning system has three main components: an indoor air handling unit, an outdoor condensing unit and a remote controller. The indoor and outdoor units are easily connected by refrigerant lines running through a small three-inch opening in the wall or ceiling. The outdoor unit cycles the refrigerant through the lines to and from the indoor unit, where the air is conditioned and distributed into the space. Installation is as simple as mounting the indoor and outdoor units, connecting the refrigerant lines, and making a few electrical connections. Your home can now be more comfortable than ever. You don’t need ductwork or a window space. The sleek wall-mounted indoor unit mounts discreetly high on the wall. The outdoor unit is slim and requires minimal ground space or service clearance.
Advantages: Ductless air conditioners have many advantages over the central air conditioners. The installation is very simple, easy and fast since no ductwork is required. It doesn’t use up window space or need large openings in the walls as the window air conditioners require. The outdoor unit for a ductless air conditioning system is small and quiet. Some models of ductless air conditioners have built in filters, which are capable of removing larger allergens, thus they purify the air. Also, the filters used in ductless air conditioners can be cleaned and used again. Disadvantages: These units cool a limited area of your home. If you have multiple areas to cool, you will need a separate unit for each area. Key System Features: • AIR FILTER
Built-in IAQ air filtration system • I-SEE SENSOR
The i-see sensor detects the always troublesome regions of temperature closer to the ceiling and the floor. The i-see sensor also controls the air flow up to a wide 150º lateral angle for ultimate comfort by scanning the room and making adjustments based on the ambient temperature readings. • INVERTER TECHNOLOGY
Through advanced technology, Inverter air conditioners are more economical to operate and quieter to run than conventional units. They can handle greater extremes in temperature, are smoother and more stable in operation, and reach the desired temperature more quickly than conventional air conditioners. • REMOTE CONTROL
Comfort control is at your fingertips with the standard wireless remote controller. • SEER RATING
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, a rating that measures the cooling efficiency of a heat pump or air conditioner. • WASHABLE PANEL FILTER
The removable and washable panel filter is an effective air cleanser, removing mold & dust from the environment. Cleaning of the indoor unit itself is simple due to the design and shape of the casing.

Hi-Velocity Systems: Hi-Velocity systems are generally for central cooling in an existing home where it may be more difficult to add conventional ductwork. The hi-velocity ductwork is much smaller so it can fit into tighter spaces. This type of system can be used in any application if desired. You can also add a heat coil to the fan unit for central heating.
Advantages: Fits into almost any space. Removes more humidity than most conventional systems. Disadvantages: Air is moving much faster than in other systems which may cause drafts and noise. Key System Features: • COIL
Uses a larger evaporator coil in the indoor air handler for better dehumidification during air conditioning mode. The air is delivered by a powerful fan which creates a high velocity stream of air. The air enters the room through a 2” outlet or an 8” x ¾” slotter diffuser.
