Find Your Perfect Comfort SystemChoosing the Right Air Conditioning System for Your Florida HomeWe have a solution for every possibility. |
At Sylvester’s Air, we keep homes in Volusia County cool, comfortable, and energy-smart. With sunshine nearly year-round and the occasional cool snap, the right HVAC system can make all the difference. Here’s a simple breakdown of the air conditioning systems we install—and how to know which one’s right for you.
What Type of Air Conditioning System Do I Have?
Split Systems (Heat Pump or Straight Cool)
Perfect for: Most single-family homes
What’s included: One outdoor unit + one indoor air handler
Split systems are the most common residential setup in Central Florida. They’re reliable, efficient, and come in two main types:
Heat Pump Split Systems
These systems cool your home like a regular AC, but when temperatures drop, they reverse and provide heat. Paired with a smaller electric heat strip, this combo saves energy and reduces your heating bills during cooler months.
Straight Cool Split Systems
These systems focus solely on cooling. For heat, they rely on a larger electric heat strip or, in some homes, a gas furnace. They're simple, effective, and perfect if you rarely need heat.
Both types are available in a wide range of SEER ratings, so you can choose the efficiency level that fits your budget and goals.

Packaged Systems
Perfect for: Mobile and modular homes
When space is tight or ducting options are limited, packaged systems get the job done. These all-in-one units house both heating and cooling components in a single outdoor cabinet, making them ideal for mobile homes or modular home setups. Available in straight cool or heat pump models, they’re compact but powerful.

Ductless Mini-Split Systems
Perfect for: Individual rooms, garages, additions, or homes without ductwork.
Mini-splits are flexible, energy-efficient, and ideal for cooling (or heating) specific spaces. Whether you’ve got a home office, sunroom, or converted garage that needs its own climate control, these systems provide targeted comfort without ductwork. Plus, they’re whisper-quiet and easy on the eyes.
Condo & Apartment Systems
Many Florida condos and apartments use "condo-pack" air handlers and through-the-wall condensers. These systems work just like standard split systems but are built for smaller spaces or upper-floor units.
The air handler is usually wall-mounted or set in a closet with a louvered door, while the condenser installs directly through an exterior wall—ideal for tight spaces and limited access.
The difference between a through-the-wall condensing unit and a normal outdoor condensing unit is that the unit is literally through the wall. Instead of the condenser fan blowing upwards like with a normal condensing unit, they push the air out through the front of the unit.
