Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) indicates the volume of filtered air an air purification system delivers per minute. A higher CADR means the system is producing more clean air, enhancing indoor air quality.

What is a Central Air Conditioning System?

A central air conditioning system, or central A/C, cools air from a central location and distributes it throughout the home via fans and ductwork. This whole-home cooling solution is ideal for larger spaces.

Cost of Central Air Conditioning

Installation and purchase costs for central air conditioning systems vary but typically range between $3,000 and $7,000, depending on region and unit specifications.

Key Components of a Central Air Conditioning System

A central air conditioning system consists of four main components:

• Evaporator Coil: Located indoors, this coil absorbs heat and humidity from your home, converting refrigerant into gas.
• Condenser Coil: Positioned outdoors, it releases absorbed heat and humidity, returning the refrigerant to a liquid state.
• Compressor: Works with the condenser to pressurize gaseous refrigerant, aiding in cooling efficiency.
• Expansion Valve: Controls the flow of liquid refrigerant through the system.

Additionally, an AC capacitor powers the motors necessary for the cooling cycle. Proper coordination of these components ensures effective temperature control in the home.
