Types of Heating & Air Conditioning Systems

Types of heat:
Gas (natural or propane) - Natural gas is less expensive than propane. Both are more expensive to operate than a heat pump of 12 SEER or higher rating.
Electric - most expensive method of heat.
Heat Pump - least expensive form of heat.
All of these types are available in the Bullhead City area.

What is the difference between a split system and a package unit?
A split system uses indoor and outdoor components to provide a complete home comfort system. A package unit or self-contained unit requires no external coils, air handlers, or heating units. All types of system comes in gas, electric and heat pump versions.

What is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is an efficient type of cooling and heating equipment. In the cooling mode the heat pump operates like an air conditioner, removing the heat from indoors and transferring the heat outdoors. In the winter the heat pump takes heat from the outdoors and transfers that heat to the indoors. Even at 32 degrees Fahrenheit there is plenty of heat in the outdoor air to warm a home using a heat pump. As a supplement, electric resistance heaters can be installed in the indoor section of the heat pump to provide additional heat to your home on those unusually cold days.

What is a Package unit?
GAS HEAT/ELECTRIC COOL PACKAGE UNITS offer an efficient, compact alternative for your home or business comfort needs. With a package unit, all cooling and heating components are contained within one outdoor unit.
