A straight cool system pairs an outdoor condenser with an indoor air handler to deliver dependable cooling, without the heat pump function. The ideal choice for homes with separate gas heating or in mild-winter climates like Tampa Bay.
Straight cool systems are the traditional approach to home cooling — a dedicated outdoor condenser and indoor evaporator that provide cooling only. They're an excellent choice for Tampa Bay homes that already have a gas furnace for the few cold weeks each year, or for homeowners who want a simpler, more straightforward system with fewer moving parts than a heat pump. Sun Air Services installs and services straight cool systems from Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Rheem, and other major manufacturers.
Fewer parts than a heat pump means fewer potential failure points and easier service.
Straight cool condensers typically cost less than heat pump equivalents of similar efficiency.
Straight cool condensers pair with gas furnaces, electric furnaces, or any compatible indoor air handler.
The outdoor unit contains the compressor and condenser coil that releases heat outside the home.
The indoor evaporator coil sits above or beside your furnace and removes heat from your home's air.
Insulated copper lines circulate refrigerant between the indoor coil and outdoor condenser.
Your existing furnace blower moves air across the indoor coil and distributes cool air through the ductwork.
If you already have a working gas furnace, a straight cool condenser is the natural pairing — and usually the lowest-cost option.
Straight cool systems typically run $1,000+ less than equivalent heat pumps, saving on the upfront install.
Without the heat-pump reversing components, straight cool systems are mechanically simpler and easier to service over time.
In Tampa Bay's mild winters, the gas furnace + straight cool combo is one of the most efficient setups available.
