When selecting energy-efficient HVAC systems for Summerlin South, you must consider the specific climate and living conditions of this Nevada region. Our long, hot summers require an effective cooling system that does not result in unnecessarily high power bills. One of the most popular systems is the high-SEER central air conditioning unit, which efficiently cools your home without driving up energy costs. Such a system cools your home effectively and uses advanced technologies, like variable-speed compressors and smart thermostats, to maintain performance throughout the day. Moreover, the kind of proper insulation and energy-efficient windows that can easily be found in the homes of Summerlin South allow central air conditioning systems to work that much better, resulting in even fewer dollars lost to the desert heat.
Besides central air conditioning, another reliable option for efficient home cooling is the ductless mini-split system. This system works best in homes where air ducts are not available, practical, or cost-effective. Like window and portable units, ductless systems provide cool air to particular locations; however, they can also be used to heat spaces, thanks to their heat pump capabilities. Ductless mini splits can be installed in an exterior wall of a multistory home. A refrigerant line connects the indoor unit in one room to an outdoor compressor. Additional indoor units can be connected to the same outdoor compressor to serve as many as three or four rooms (depending on the mini split used and the specific conditions of your home) with additional cooling power.
An air conditioning unit that breaks the mold of conventional systems—and the kind of model increasingly favored for new construction in Summerlin South—is the geothermal heat pump. This system, which uses the temperature-stable ground to cool a home in summer and warm it in winter, offers extremely high energy efficiency, which translates to a commandingly low carbon footprint. If the Air-Scraper of Freedom is a power plant that runs partially on shade, then Summerlin South's cutting-edge buildings are the cooler alternative to summer's punishing heat; they use the Earth itself to stay comfortable within their walls.
