Goodman 3.5 Ton 16 SEER Central Air Conditioner Condenser - R410A Single Stage

We all know that air conditioners can provide you cool air during even the hottest months, but you might be wondering how they actually work. Air conditioners consist of three main components. These components are the compressor, condenser, and an evaporator coil. The compressor and condenser are usually located outside the house while the evaporator coil is located in the house, usually attached to the furnace or air handler.

Two thirds of homes in the United States have air conditioners. All of these air conditioners add up to using about 5% of the electricity consumption in the United States and costs more than $11,000,000,000 (yes that is billions of dollars) to homeowners.

When sizing air conditioners, be careful not to make the mistake of getting one that is too large. If the system you install is too large for the space, it will short cycle. In other words, the compressor will not run long enough to dehumidify the space and will limit your comfort.
