Components of a central air conditioning system

Central air conditioner condenser unit mounted outside a home

Condenser Unit

Typically found on a concrete pad outside your home, the condenser unit absorbs heat that is removed from your indoor air. Refrigerant enters the unit and radiates heat away to the outdoor air.

Once the refrigerant has released the heat, it is pumped back into your home to begin the cooling process again.

Evaporator Unit

Inside your home, the air conditioner's evaporator unit draws air across the evaporator coil. This coil contains the refrigerant, which absorbs heat from the air to cool it.

Once the air has been cooled, it is blown through your ducts by an air handler.

Air Handler

The air handler moves cool air through connected ductwork. Some models offer a variable speed motor that automatically adjusts to keep you comfortable while conserving energy.

A filter in the air handler captures particulates before they can be circulated throughout your home.

Ductwork for central air conditioning running through a home

Ductwork

Central AC systems use ductwork to carry cooled air throughout your home. Your air handler blows cool air into a central duct, which branches out to the different rooms of your home.

Ducts end in air registers, that can be opened or closed to allow for more or less airflow.
