Can you have a central AC system in your home if you have an oil burner or do you need gas heat ?

Answer 1

Any home can have central A/C. The fuel is not what is important. Whether or not you have ductwork will dictate whether or not you get an "add-on" system (one that uses your exsisting blower and ductwork), or a complete system with dedicated ductwork. Of course, the cost for an add-on is usually considerably less.

Get a couple of estimates from reputable local contractors and be sure to check references.

Answer 2

I have an oil burning furnace, and central AC as well, so I guess the answer is YES!

The important part in a forced air heating system when integrating central airconditioning are the air ducts.

If you have forced air ducts for distributing heat through your home, and not pipes from a boiler for heating radiators then you have the right system for adding air conditioning.

Answer 3

1.Do you have a fan forced system? (Duct work?) Yes
Mount A-coil on furnace supply and 220volt condensing unit outside.
2.or is it radiant heat. If Radiant - It's a lil' more work. The unit mounts to the attic and supplies cooling thru tubes and in the center of the house returns the warmer air. 220volt condensing unit also goes outside.
