Ducted Central Air Conditioner – New Construction

What Is It?

A ducted central air conditioner is an efficient cooling system that uses traditional ducts and vents throughout a home to distribute cool air.

How Does It Work?

A ducted central air conditioner cools a home by absorbing heat from the home using the indoor evaporator coil then moves the heat to the outdoor condenser coil to dissipate it.

What Is the Incentive?

New System Efficiency Incentive
