What Is Central Air?

Central air conditioning, also called “split-system air conditioning,” is a fantastic way to keep your entire home cool and comfortable during those sweltering summer months. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:

Imagine your central air system as a tag team, working together inside and outside your home to beat the heat.

Inside the House (The “Cold Side”):
  • Feeling Warm? Warm air from your home gets pulled into the system.
  • Chill Out! This air flows over a cold coil filled with refrigerant, absorbing heat and making the air nice and cool.
  • Back to You! The cooled air is then distributed throughout your home through ducts, leaving you feeling refreshed.
Outside the House (The “Hot Side”):
  • Taking the Heat: The used refrigerant, now warm from absorbing heat inside, travels outside.
  • Squeeze Play: A compressor puts the pressure on the refrigerant, making it even hotter.
  • Out with the Old: This hot refrigerant then flows through a coil outside, releasing the heat it picked up from your home into the outdoor air. A fan helps with this process.
Ready for Round Two: 

The cooled refrigerant then travels back inside, ready to absorb more heat and keep your home comfortable. This cycle continues all summer long, keeping your home cool and removing unwanted humidity for a more enjoyable living space.

What Is the Difference Between Central Air and Air Conditioning?

In most cases, the terms “central air” and “air conditioning” are used interchangeably. They both refer to a system that cools and circulates air throughout a building.  However, there can be a slight difference in meaning:

Central Air Conditioning:

Central air conditioning specifically refers to a system with separate indoor and outdoor units connected by ducts. This is the most common type of air conditioning system for houses.

Air Conditioning:

Air conditioning is a broader term for any system that cools air can refer to any system that cools air, including the following:

  • Central air conditioning
  • Window units 
  • Portable air conditioners

So, central air conditioning is a specific type of air conditioning system. 

What Are the Different Types of Bryant Central Air Conditioners?

All Bryant central air conditioners utilize one of three compressor types, each impacting efficiency and comfort:

Single-Stage: 

These compressors operate at a single speed, either on or off. They are the most basic and affordable option, but may cycle on and off more frequently, potentially leading to temperature fluctuations.

Two-Stage: 

These compressors offer two operating speeds, high and low. This allows them to adjust cooling power to match demand, resulting in improved efficiency compared to single-stage models.

Variable-Speed: 

These are the most advanced and efficient compressors. They can adjust their speed gradually to precisely meet cooling needs, offering superior comfort and energy savings.
