Air Conditioners
Split-system cooling from 1.5 to 5 tons, including American Standard's variable-speed models.
A central air conditioner is a matched pair: the outdoor condenser and the indoor coil and air handler. Efficiency comes from how well those pieces are sized and paired, which is why we look at the house and the ductwork before we quote equipment.

What to know before you buy
Variable-speed and multi-speed units run at lower capacity for longer stretches, which holds humidity down better than a unit that only runs full blast and stops.
The Silver series covers straightforward single-stage cooling; the Gold and AccuComfort lines add inverter compressors and communicating controls.
Sizing and model selection
Published ratings describe the equipment, not your house. We size air conditioners against the building's load, ductwork and existing equipment before quoting a model, so the numbers on the spec sheet actually show up in your comfort and your bill.
