Air conditioners overview

Air conditioners remove warm and humid air inside your home and deliver cold air. The system utilizes three major components to achieve cooling – a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator. A refrigerant circulates through these components and absorbs heat from the indoor air. A blower/fan then blows the cooled air inside the rooms.

Air conditioners fall into two types – central air conditioners and mini-split type or ductless air conditioners. The working principle of both the AC types, however, remains the same.

All air conditioners have an energy efficiency rating known as the SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) which calculates efficiency by dividing the cooling output by the amount of electrical energy that the unit consumes. All new air conditioners sold in the United States are required to have a SEER rating of at least 13, and in Southern regions, at least 14.
