Summers in the North Carolina mountains can get hot and heat demands an effective AC system. But an efficient system is only one piece of the puzzle. Correct AC installation, periodic maintenance, and timely air conditioning repair are all vital in keeping your home comfortable. At Nicholson Company, our technicians are dedicated to their craft. Factory training and NATE-certification have prepared them to provide any HVAC solution you need.
Carrier is one of the leading manufacturers in the HVAC industry when it comes to innovation and efficiency. As Carrier Factory Authorized Dealers, we can offer AC solutions to suit any home or business’s need. The following types of systems are among your options when you choose Nicholson Company:
Central Air Conditioners: These cooling systems come in either packaged or split systems. Packaged systems contain all the components in a single unit, which is typically placed either on the roof or outside the home. Split systems separate the condenser and the evaporator, locating the former outside and the latter inside the building. These AC systems are often combined with a furnace or heat pump.
Heat Pumps and Geothermal Systems: These units are the most efficient and environmentally-friendly heating and cooling options on the market. Heat pumps transfer heat between a source that maintains a stable temperature, like water or the ground (geothermal) and your home rather than burn fuel.
Ductless Air Conditioners: Whereas central air conditioners cool a building through a system of air ducts, ductless AC systems are designed to work without ducts. Ductless cooling systems can be used for zoned cooling or to cool room additions without installing new ducts or extending existing ductwork. This type of system is ideal for add-ons or renovations.
Our air conditioning experts can help you determine which type of system — and which specific model — will work best for you.
Central air conditioners are offered in three different configurations to address a variety of different job site conditions, including structural challenges, fuel availability and consumer performance expectations.
Split Air Conditioners: Split systems are characterized by a separate condensing unit and air handler. The condenser is usually positioned outdoors near an exterior wall to reduce compressor and motor noise. The air handler is often installed in the garage or a furnace closet. Of all the air conditioning options, split systems provide the best overall efficiency.
Heat Pumps: A heat pump can provide both heating and cooling from a single system. This feature may appeal to those in areas with low electric rates or where natural gas is unavailable. Heat pumps are manufactured in both split-system and packaged unit configurations. They are not appropriate for climates that experience severe winters and subfreezing temperatures.
Packaged Units: For commercial buildings and residential applications with space constraints, package units are an attractive alternative since they are installed primarily on rooftops. Available in straight AC, gas-electric or heat pump varieties, packaged units include both an air handler and condenser in a single cabinet.
