DUCTLESS SPLIT SYSTEM

This type of system requires that the installation

types of ductless split systems configurations that
is available in the industry and they are as follows:
WALL MOUNTED TYPE UNIT

AIR FILTER

UNIT
DUAL ZONE WALL MOUNTED UNITS

When choosing a split system make
sure all factors are taken into consideration, mainly
the decibel ratings of the indoor units, different
manufactures make the same capacity unit but may vary
in the sound levels that emits from the indoor unit.
Split systems also differ in their physical dimensions,
for the same capacity you will have units that vary
in physical dimensions. Latest evolvements in ductless
split system include units that now reach an operating
efficiency of 12.00 SEER and some models also have
a plasma air filter to help maintain a cleaner indoor
air conditioned environment. AMV Air Conditioning
Inc. recommends and installs the Fujitsu and Mitsubishi
Electric ductless split system for its dependability
and good local support to meet its service needs.

CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING
SYSTEM (RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS)
Highly recommend qualified and licensed
contractors install this type of system (ask for references
possible) These systems consist of an indoor air handling
unit and outdoor condensing unit. Air handling unit
can be installed vertically on a stand in a closet
or horizontally in the attic. The myths of central
air conditioning is that it way to expensive to operate
or way to costly to install. Yes a central air conditioning
system installation if not planned properly will be
too expensive to operate on a monthly basis. Unlike
ductless splits systems, central air conditioning
comes in operating efficiencies that range from 10.00
SEER up to 16.00 SEER, it gives the buyer the opportunity
to chose how efficient they would want their system
to be (the higher the SEER rating the less you will
pay in electricity for your comfort). Central air
conditioning offers other benefits by maintaining
the aesthetics of the home by having vents installed
in the ceiling or hidden in a soffit at the base of
a coffered ceiling. Unlike having an air conditioning
appliance mounted on your living room wall.
TYPE OF CEILING
AND WALL VENTS INSTALLED WITH OUR CENTRAL AIR SYSTEMS
Fix pattern type supply air devices (4-way, 3-way,
2-way, 1-way type throw patterns)
Modular type supply air device (allow
users the ability to change air flow direction if
needed)
Wall mounted type side discharge supply air devices
(although seen installed in some track homes on Oahu
done by mainland air conditioning contractors, not
recommended for ceiling applications because it will
give conditioned space a very drafty feeling, meaning
it will make your toes uncomfortably cold)
Image shows various ways to install
wall type registers including one that was painted
to blend into a custom built in entertainment center.
Filtered return air intake grilles
with a hinged opening to house a 1 inch thick air
filter (recommended for ease of doing the preventive
maintenance by homeowner)

air intake grille. When opened a high efficiency
air filter is exposed allowing user to remove and
replace their filters with ease..
CENTRAL AIR SYSTEMS ENHANCED WITH THERMOSTATICALLY
CONTROLLED ZONE DAMPERS
Highly recommend qualified and licensed contractors
install this type of system (ask for references if
possible). A zone controlled system will complement
any central air system that has been designed to cool
off several rooms within a home. By having a zone
controlled system installed with your central air
unit, it will give the user the ability to turn the
unit on and off on demand from each zone. Zone controlled
systems also allows the unit to maintain an even temperature
regardless of the way the sun is impacting that particular
side of the home because the cooling thermostat installed
in that zone will monitor the room temperature and
help the unit compensate for the additional heat load
in the zone..

UNICO CENTRAL AIR SYSTEM:
This is a unique method to air conditioning
a residential and commercial space, there we highly
recommend only qualified and licensed contractors
install this Unico System. Before choosing a contractor
to install your Unico System you may want to ask for
job references to make sure the contractor has successfully
completed a Unico System installation with no complaints
from the customer. AMV Air Conditioning Inc has a
list of clients that has this Unico System installed
from Governor Linda Lingle's Mansion fronting Queens
Hospital to several home owners and also a home owner
that has this system installed in three of his homes
on the island of Oahu.
The Unico System has provided
answers for AMV Air Conditioning Inc's customer
where we have been in situations where there are
times when a customer insist on having central air
conditioning installed in a home but cannot install
a conventional ducted split central air system because
there is no room in the attic for the large ductwork
and even the air handling unit. With the Unico mini
duct system we are able to provide some of our customers
with an answer to having central air conditioning
installed when other a/c contractors simply tell
them that their only option is to install a ductless
split system. Read the following benefits and features

Unico System Air
Handling Unit Installations:

The following example is a testimony
of the creative approach AMV Air Conditioning Inc
takes in helping our customers find solutions for
their installation challenges. With no attic space
in an all wooden open beam ceiling home, we set
aside a closet to install the air handling unit
the Unico flex duct as show on the left was routed
up next to the ridge beam. A wooden soffit was later
built to conceal the duct flex ducts and the Unico
oak wooden outlets were installed on both side of
the walls providing this new master suite with central
air. This master suite and study used to be cooled
off with two ductless split systems, being near
the ocean this was problem the indoor unit kept
of falling apart from corrosion, the new air handling
unit was coated with PSX and Heresite VR-514 to
help increase its life expectancy.
Sample Unico Outlets:
Window Air Conditioning
This type of system requires no
special license to purchase and most installation
can be done by handyman or by the homeowners themselves.
