Given the temperatures in Port St. Lucie, there are a variety of factors involved in the way you approach your heating and air conditioning. And when it’s time to think about replacing your heating and air conditioning system, it’s easy to make a hasty decision and be left with a system that doesn’t wholly address all of the needs that come with the climate.
Here’s a quick and easy breakdown of how to figure out what will work best for the current climate in Port St. Lucie or a new climate if you plan on moving.
Warmer climates
The southern section of North America normally lives with warmer weather for the majority of the year, so not all heating and air conditioning equipment is right for that climate. These warmer climates normally use heat pumps and air handlers.
- Heat pumps manage both your cooling and heating needs in one unit. Even if you don’t think you need the heating functionality of a heat pump, it can help you get the greatest energy efficiency out of your system. Plus, you never know when there will be a sudden cold front that cools things off a tad.
- Air handlers ensure the air inside your home is being circulated. Whether it’s the warm air in chilly months or cool air in the warmer months, air handlers make sure your comfort is always a high priority.
Colder climates
If we talk about the climates in the northern portion of North America, it’s safer to select an air conditioner and furnace to handle your heating and air conditioning needs. With temperatures getting cold more frequently, gas and oil furnaces can run regardless of the temperature outside, leaving you comfortable indoors.
Being sure your home is comfortable year-round means taking a little time to research the heating and air conditioning needs of your state. Not sure what is best for you?
