Air Conditioners: The Process Explained

An air conditioner’s primary function is to clean, circulate, cool, and remove undesirable moisture from indoor air. By trapping dust and small particles in the filter, the air handler circulates the air while the cooling and dehumidifying process occurs through refrigeration. Refrigeration facilitates the transfer of heat inside a home to the outside, employing two primary units: the indoor and condensing units. The indoor unit removes undesirable warmth and humidity using the filter, air handler, and evaporator coil, while the condensing unit releases the captured heat outside the home.

Furnaces: How They Work

The furnace is a vital component of central heating systems. It houses all the operational parts, and replacing it means upgrading your system’s quality and cost for years to come. In a forced-air system, warm air is blown through air ducts to each office room. An office air filter removes any debris before the air moves through the blower and absorbs heat. In a gas furnace, a mixture of gas and air flows into the burner, where combustion occurs, and warm air rises to fill the heat exchanger, while electric furnaces generate heat through electricity. A thermostat installed on the wall measures room temperature and turns the heating system off or on as needed.
