Types of Air Conditioners
Understanding your cooling options can seem overwhelming, but with guidance from the right air conditioning service, you can find a solution that matches your unique needs and budget. At Watts Air Conditioning, Plumbing, & Electrical, we help you explore all major AC system types, their features, and the options that may be the best fit for your property in Polk County.
Factors such as your building’s square footage, insulation, and existing ductwork must be considered to ensure optimal performance. We help you navigate available technologies, including options that meet current Florida permitting standards and Polk County code requirements, so you’re fully compliant from installation through maintenance.
Central Air Conditioners
Central air conditioning systems excel at cooling entire homes or large buildings by distributing air through ductwork. These systems offer excellent indoor air quality when paired with premium filters, but they do require a higher initial investment and existing ductwork or an additional installation.
Window & Portable Units
Ideal for cooling individual rooms or temporary spaces, these units offer flexibility in both residential and commercial settings. These units are quick to install and budget-friendly, though their cooling capacity is limited, and they may be less efficient and noisier than permanent solutions.
Ductless Mini-Splits
Perfect for spaces without existing ductwork or for targeted temperature control. These systems combine quiet operation, versatile zoning capability, and energy efficiency, helping you stay comfortable in Florida’s most challenging conditions. Our air conditioning service team provides full service for ductless mini-splits, from evaluating system size and placement to ongoing maintenance and support.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling using innovative energy-transfer technology. By moving heat rather than generating it, they maximize efficiency, making them ideal for Polk County and wider Central Florida homeowners seeking a year-round solution.
As you choose your next system, consider the long-term costs and energy savings associated with each option. Watts Air Conditioning, Plumbing, & Electrical is committed to pairing your needs with the latest technology to enhance indoor comfort and lower utility bills year-round.
Understanding SEER Ratings & Their Impact on Efficiency
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings are essential when selecting your next AC system, especially in a region like Polk County with a near-year-round cooling season. A higher SEER rating means greater system efficiency and lower utility bills, a vital consideration for homes and businesses that depend on their systems year-round. By installing high-SEER equipment, you may also qualify for rebates or incentives offered by the state of Florida or Polk County energy programs.
Recent Florida regulations have increased the minimum SEER requirements for new installations, aiming to achieve greater energy savings and lower environmental impact for both residential and commercial clients. Our air conditioning service technicians can walk you through your best options for balancing upfront investment with long-term utility savings, including utility rebate programs and regulatory changes, and help you take full advantage of every available benefit for your new system installation.

Nedd was very knowledgeable and told us why the drain line kept getting clogged. I wish we would've been more informed about the issues with aluminum coils before purchasing a unit, but it is what it is. The issue was fixed

Nedd was super-fast at getting here. We were having guests over when the a/c wasn't cooling. Called Watts and Nedd was here Lickety Split. He explained the "Club" and the cost and what it covers and we decided that it was a no-brainer. Plus, Nedd fixed our exterior a/c drip pipe because it had been broken and ugly and pretty much non-functional. Nedd replaced the whole thing along with fixing our problem and washing off our permanent metal a/c filter. Top notch employee. He deserves a raise.
