Understanding the basic components of your air conditioning system can help you communicate with technicians and recognize when something is wrong.

The Thermostat

The thermostat is the brain of your system. It monitors the temperature and signals the AC to turn on or off.

This unit sits inside your home and contains the evaporator coil and blower fan. It cools the air and circulates it through your ductwork.

The outdoor unit houses the compressor and condenser coil. It releases the heat that was removed from your home’s air.

These copper lines carry refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor units. Contact Air & Energy at 941-778-0773.
