Description

A ducted air conditioner is a type of central air conditioning system that consists of an air handling unit (AHU) and a network of ducts that distribute conditioned air throughout a home or building. The AHU is typically located in a basement, attic, or crawl space, and it houses the evaporator coil, which cools the air, and the blower fan, which circulates the air. The ducts are made of metal or flexible plastic, and they are installed throughout the ceilings or walls of the conditioned space. Ducted air conditioners are a popular choice for large homes and buildings because they can provide even cooling and heating throughout the space. They are also relatively quiet, as the AHU is located away from the living areas. However, ducted air conditioners can be expensive to install and maintain, and they can lose energy efficiency through leaks in the ductwork. Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages of ducted air conditioners: Advantages Even cooling and heating throughout the space Relatively quiet operation Can be zoned to provide different temperatures in different parts of the home (with additional equipment)
