What is an Air Conditioner?
An air conditioner cools your home with a cold indoor coil called the evaporator. The condenser, a hot outdoor coil, releases the collected heat outside.
The evaporator and condenser coils are serpentine tubing surrounded by aluminum fins. This tubing is usually made of copper.
