Consider a low cost environmentally friendly alternative for central air... Ductless A/C

Technology from overseas, where energy costs are five to ten times our national average, has spawned the "Mini Split Air Conditioner".

This design is not only highly efficient but it allows installations in difficult types of construction that previously were not good candidates for a retrofit central air system. In the past if you owned this type of home, you were relegated to the unattractive, noisy and very inefficient room air conditioners that would have to be installed through your walls, or worse yet, every summer you would have the additional job of lugging out the old window units and block off most of your windows for the entire summer....

This is no longer a problem...

With Mini Split technology, you can have the noise free comfort of a standard central air system without the need to redesign you walls, floors and ceilings, to accommodate the large bulky ductwork associated with a central air system.

With a properly a designed installation you can cool your entire home with the additional benefit of multiple temperatures for specific areas (also referred to as zone control). They are also available as heat pumps and will give you the ability to add heat to that problem area in your home.
