Types of Air Conditioning Systems We Service
Different homes call for different solutions. BPM services all major types of residential AC systems:
| System Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Central Air | Cools the entire home via a ducted system. Most common in newer homes. |
| Ductless Mini-Splits | Wall-mounted indoor units for zoned cooling. Ideal for additions or ductless homes. |
| Packaged AC Units | All-in-one system where compressor and evaporator are combined, often on rooftops or slabs. |
| Heat Pumps (Cooling Mode) | Dual-purpose systems that function like central air in summer. |
| Window/Portable Units | Self-contained units, sometimes used for supplemental cooling or small spaces. |
How Air Conditioning Works in Your Home
Air conditioning systems cool your home by removing heat—not by adding cold air. The process relies on a closed-loop refrigerant cycle, where heat is transferred from inside your home to the outdoors.
Here’s how it works:
- Thermostat Sends Signal
When your indoor temperature rises above your thermostat setting, the system kicks on. - Indoor Air Is Drawn In
Warm air from your home is pulled through return ducts and passed over an evaporator coil inside the indoor unit. - Refrigerant Absorbs Heat
A cold refrigerant inside the coil absorbs heat from the air, cooling it in the process. The now-cooled air is blown back into your living space. - Compressor Moves Refrigerant
The refrigerant—now carrying the heat—is pumped to the outdoor condenser unit where it releases the heat into the outdoor air. - Cycle Repeats Until Desired Temperature Is Reached
Key components include:
- Compressor: Pumps refrigerant through the system.
- Evaporator Coil: Absorbs heat from indoor air.
- Condenser Coil: Releases heat outdoors.
- Expansion Valve: Regulates refrigerant flow.
- Blower Fan: Distributes cooled air through your home.
This process repeats continuously, keeping your home cool and comfortable. Modern systems can adjust compressor speed and fan output to match demand, reducing energy usage and improving humidity control.
AC Installation & Replacement
Upgrading your air conditioning system can improve efficiency, comfort, and reliability—especially if your current unit is more than 10–15 years old. Our installation process includes:
- Manual J load calculations for proper system sizing
- Review of ductwork condition and airflow
- Recommendations based on home layout and SEER2 efficiency
- Permitting, installation, and commissioning
We’ll help you choose the right system—not just the biggest or most expensive. Whether it’s a central unit, mini-split, or hybrid setup, we ensure it’s installed for long-term performance.
AC Repair
If your air conditioner isn’t cooling properly, cycles frequently, or makes unusual sounds, we can diagnose the issue and provide quick, effective repairs. Common problems we address include:
- Frozen evaporator coils
- Low or leaking refrigerant
- Blower motor failure
- Electrical issues
- Thermostat malfunctions
Our technicians arrive with stocked trucks and the tools needed to resolve most issues on the first visit. No guesswork. No upsells. Just reliable repair from people who know what they’re doing.
AC Maintenance
Routine maintenance is essential to keep your system operating efficiently and avoid costly breakdowns. Our air conditioner tune-up includes:
- Cleaning indoor and outdoor coils
- Testing electrical components and connections
- Checking refrigerant charge and pressures
- Measuring airflow and thermostat calibration
- Replacing filters (as needed)
We recommend scheduling maintenance twice per year—ideally in the spring and late summer—to keep your system running optimally through peak demand.
