Central air conditioners are used to remove humidity and cool homes by circulating cool air through the same ductwork used by your forced-air heating system. The SEER rating of an air conditioner determines its efficiency (the higher the SEER rating, the greater the efficiency of the unit.

The systems work by installing a coil that sits in the ductwork on top of your furnace. A condensing unit is placed outside the house. The compressor inside the condensing unit produces the cooling effect on the gas that flows through the coil above the furnace. When the furnace fan is on, air passes across the coil, is cooled, and then flows out of your ductwork.

Belyea Bros. sells the pre-eminent manufacturers of forced-air cooling systems. As Factory Authorized Dealers for Carrier and Trane we are proud to offer their complete product line. All of these manufacturers have well designed and highly reliable equipment and proven track records of customer satisfaction. All these manufacturers provide our company with superior in-house technical. Our technicians are equipped to handle any call regarding your cooling system.

Attic Pak systems are low velocity air conditioning systems either for houses without ductwork, or houses with forced air and more than two floors. Simply put, the fan in a forced air system is not powerful enough to push dense, cold air up beyond a second floor. An Attic Pak system utilizes the natural density of cold air to drop down throughout a house creating an incredibly efficient cooling solution for most homes.

A Carrier or Trane condensing unit is placed outside the house. The line-set from the condensing unit then runs up the wall to the attic where an air handler is installed. The air handler regulates the flow of cold air down into the house through five, six, or seven-inch outlets. When we install this type of system we use flexible ductwork to run from the air handler in the attic to outlets in all the rooms directly below or beside the attic space. We then run the same flexible or solid ductwork down through closet or cupboard spaces to reach other floors.

Attic Pak systems are an exceptionally quite and efficient cooling solution.

SpacePak systems are high velocity air conditioning systems that are set up and function in a similar way to an Attic Pak. The Carrier condensing unit is placed outside the house with an air handler in the attic. The difference between the two systems lies mainly in the smaller outlets of the high velocity SpacePak. The outlets are only two inches in diameter, however, a minimum number of outlets are required; for example: a two-ton system would require a minimum of eighteen outlets. While it is easy to run this many outlets to the floor directly below or beside the attic space it can be far trickier to find enough room to run ductwork down to additional floors especially in finished homes.

SpacePak systems, like Attic Pak systems are exceptionally quiet and efficient and can be installed with very little difficulty especially when incorporated into your design plans and renovations.

Ductless split air conditioners are used to either cool homes where there is no existing ductwork or to supplement cooling in houses with forced air cooling and more than two floors. Single, dual, or triple-zone systems have one, two or three indoor units attached to one outdoor unit to cool large homes or homes with restricted airflow. Ductless air conditioning systems are ideal for older Toronto homes with radiators or baseboard heaters, and a great solution for landlords looking to cool separate apartments within a house.

With a ductless system, simple copper tubing and electrical wiring to indoor units connects a separately installed outdoor unit. Refrigerant is pumped from the outdoor condenser coil and compressor through the tubing to the indoor unit or units. A fan then quietly distributes cool air drawn through the unit’s evaporator coil.

While there are a number of ductless split manufacturers on the market, Belyea Bros. has settled on two with a proven track record of exceptional reliability, quality, and quietness. We are a licensed dealer for Mitsubishi Mr. Slim units and Fujitsu.

Fan coil units run off an Aermec chiller rather than a conventional outdoor condensing and use glycol instead of conventional refrigerant opening up a number of specific applications where there may be a requirement for zone cooling (and heating). Some typical applications include: tenanted or multiple apartment properties where fire separation is an issue, older downtown Toronto homes without the physical space to run SpacePak ducts, and low-rise condos, lofts or apartments.
