How Central Air Conditioning Works
Central air conditioners have two main units, an indoor unit with an evaporator or "A" coil and an outdoor unit with a compressor and condenser unit. These two components work together to cool and dehumidify your household air, providing a more comfortable home for you and your family.

When warm household air is passed over the evaporator coil, the coil removes heat from the air. At the same time, water vapour in the air condenses on the cold surface of the coil and is drained away. Unwanted heat removed from household air is transferred to the condenser unit located outdoors. Cooler, drier air that remains is then circulated throughout your home by your existing furnace system's fan and ductwork. The end result is a more comfortable environment that your whole family will enjoy.
