Air Conditioning

Central air conditioning is a system which uses ducts to distribute cooled and/or dehumidified air to more than one room. With a typical split system, the condenser and compressor are located in an outdoor unit; the evaporator is mounted on the furnace or in the air handling unit. With a package system, all components are located in a single outdoor unit that may be located on the ground or roof.

Central air conditioning performs like a regular air conditioner, but has several added benefits: When the furnace/ air handler turns on, room air is drawn in from various parts of the building through return-air ducts. This air is pulled through a filter where airborne particles such as dust and lint are removed. The filtered and conditioned air is distributed through supply ductwork that carries it back to the rooms. Whenever the air conditioner is running, this cycle repeats continually. Because the central air conditioning unit is located outside the home, it offers a lower level of noise indoors than a free-standing air conditioning unit.
