Contact SupplierThe “central” in central air conditioning comes from the fact that the system conditions the entire building from one large central location in your home. This system cools and dehumidifies the air, then blows the cool air into your duct system and out through the supply air registers located in each room.In stark contrast, window A/C units cool only one room or area. Trying to cool an entire home with a window unit in each room would require not only the inconvenience of managing each separate unit, but it would also require more energy and be excessively noisy.
Central air conditioning systems are typically combined with the furnace system, if your home has one (or use a dedicated air handler if it doesn’t), and both use the same electrical system and ductwork with salient features
A central air conditioner is either a split-system unit or a packaged unit.
In a split-system central air conditioner, an outdoor metal cabinet contains the condenser and compressor, and an indoor cabinet contains the evaporator.
In a packaged central air conditioner, the evaporator, condenser, and compressor are all located in one cabinet, which usually is placed on a roof or on a concrete slab next to the house's foundation.
