What are the 3 Types of AC?
There are actually more than 3 common types of air conditioners, but here are 3 Types of AC:
-
Central air conditioners: These are the most common type of cooling system for homes in many parts of the world. They consist of two main parts: an outdoor unit (condenser and compressor) and an indoor unit (evaporator coil and fan). The outdoor unit releases heat to the outside air, while the indoor unit cools and circulates air throughout the house through a network of ducts.
Central Air Conditioner - Ductless mini-split air conditioners: These systems are becoming increasingly popular, especially in homes that do not have ductwork. They consist of an outdoor unit and one or more indoor units (usually mounted on walls). Each indoor unit can be controlled independently, allowing for zoned cooling.
Ductless mini split air conditioner - Window air conditioners: Window air conditioners are a self-contained unit that is installed in a window opening. They are a relatively inexpensive way to cool a single room, but they can be noisy and inefficient.
