Air Conditioning
 What
is a "Split System" Air Conditioner?
A traditional home comfort
system has two parts: an indoor unit, such as a
furnace or air handler, and an outdoor unit. An air
conditioner is the outdoor unit that cools air and
sends it to the indoor unit to be circulated through
your home. The indoor and outdoor units are designed
to work together, and when the air conditioner is
properly matched with a furnace or air handler, the
result is maximum efficiency and extended system
life. Air conditioning and cooling efficiency is
measured using a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio
(SEER). A higher SEER signifies higher energy
efficiency.
Central Air
Conditioning
A home's "split system"
central air conditioning system includes a
compressor, a fan, condenser coil, evaporator coil
and a refrigerant. It extracts heat from indoor air
and transfers it outside, leaving the cooled indoor
air to be recirculated. The efficiency of central
air conditioning systems is rated using SEER ratios.
A central air conditioning system uses electricity
as its power source.
The basic components
of an air conditioning system are:
 |
A Condensing Unit (the outdoor
section)
|
|
A matching indoor Air Handler or
Furnace with coil
|
|
Ductwork to transfer the cooled air
throughout the home
|
York offers a wide
variety of central air conditioners in different
styles, sizes and efficiencies.
