Your Typical Air Conditioning System

1.  CONDENSER
Basically a condenser works like this: connected to the inside cooling coil, the compressor pumps refrigerant back and forth, extracting heat and moisture from the indoors. It transfers the heat to the outdoors. Warm indoor air is blown over the inside coil, then is cooled and distributed throughout your home through the duct system. Today, the Federal government requires that all new models have a minimum SEER rating of 13. However, certain building standards must be met in order to utilize a 13 SEER system.  More commonly, a 14 SEER system is installed as a means to exceed the current government mandates.

2.  INDOOR COOLING COIL
To deliver the highest system efficiency, performance and climate control, an indoor cooling coil must be matched in size and rated with your condenser.

3.  FURNACE / AIR HANDLER
Furnaces are uniquely designed to provide maximum heat with minimum fuel usage.  Your fuel source could be natural gas or propane.  Key furnace control functions are integrated into one microelectronic system which monitors the thermostat and gas valve ensuring precise temperature control. The current minimum AFUE requirement for furnaces is 78 percent.  An Air Handler provides heat through the use of electric resistance heat.  No fuel is consumed.  Instead, your electrical power is used to provide heat to your home.

4.  AIR FILTER
An air cleaner is an integral part of a home comfort system, filtering dust and pollutants out of the air you breathe, and keeping your rugs and home furnishings cleaner, as well. Reduced pollen, dust pet dander, smoke, etc. could help reduce allergy and asthma discomfort.

5.  THERMOSTAT
The control center for your home comfort system. Thermostats give you precise temperature control and allow you to program your heating and cooling requirements depending upon your lifestyle.
