• AC Actuators: The AC actuator is what directs air from the vents to the main duct after opening.
• AC Blower Motor: The blower motor is responsible for powering the fan blades.
• AC Bracket: The bracket secures the AC in place and provides support for the window frame.
• AC Cage: The AC cage protects the condenser from theft.
• AC Capacitor: The capacitor starts and continuously powers the AC motors with stored electricity.
• AC Compressor: The AC compressor pumps refrigerant from the evaporator and changes it to a high-pressure gas.
• AC Condenser: The condenser removes heat by using coils to cool the high-pressure gas coming from the compressor.
• AC Cover: The AC cover shields the condenser from dirt, leaves, and other debris.
• AC Drain Pan: The AC drain pan collects the water that drips off the evaporator coils.
• AC Pump: The AC pump pushes water from the drain pan out of the house.
• AC Drain Line: The AC drain line is the path where water flows after being pumped from the drain pan.
• AC Ducts: Ducts carry and distribute conditioned air from the air handler throughout the home.
• AC Evaporator Coil: The evaporator coil removes heat from the air as coolant flows through it and evaporates.
• AC Fans: Fans facilitate air circulation throughout the house without utilizing the compressor or condenser.
• AC Fan Motor: The fan motor is what powers the AC fan.
• AC Freon: Freon is a type of coolant that is used in typical AC units.
• AC Gauges: AC gauges display the temperature and pressure inside the unit for easy diagnosis.
• AC Grills: Grills help distribute the air efficiently across a room through the vents.
• AC Heat Pump: AC heat pumps transfer hot air from one place to another.
• AC Inverter: The AC inverter allows the compressor motor to operate at variable speeds.
• AC Pad: The AC pad is placed under the condenser to keep it from coming into contact with the ground.
