What equipment is included in an AC install?

Unless you’re an AC whiz, you likely aren’t familiar with all of the air conditioning components or terminology. If you feel like your HVAC contractor is speaking in foreign tongues, don’t worry! We’ll be sure to explain every detail until you feel comfortable.

During an air conditioner install, you may need to purchase just one piece of an AC system, or you may have all the components included in your project. So it’s important to understand every part of the air conditioning system. Here are the main components and terminology you should know:

Evaporator Coil (also known as the evaporator or indoor coil) – The indoor side of your air conditioner is called the evaporator coil. Most homes in Los Angeles have an evaporator coil right next to a furnace. Or, if there’s no furnace, there will be an evaporator coil inside a piece of equipment called an air handler. The evaporator coil is where very cold refrigerant travels through. Evaporator coils also contain a device called an expansion valve. The expansion valve keeps your coil at the necessary cool temperatures.

Condensing Unit (also referred to as a condenser, outdoor unit, or simply air conditioner) – The condensing unit is the big metal box that sits outside your home. The condensing unit is responsible for building pressure in the system and helping to cool the refrigerant. The condensing unit has several components that help with this, including a coil, a fan, and a compressor. The coil and fan help cool refrigerant, while the compressor helps build pressure.

Other Components in an Air Conditioning System – Although condenser units and evaporator coils are the main pieces of your air conditioning, don’t overlook these other critical parts:

Piping for refrigerant that travels between the condensing unit and evaporator coil.
Ductwork which carries air around your home.
Blower (or indoor fan) which helps airflow through the ductwork. The indoor fan is normally located inside a furnace or an air handler.
A thermostat which sends on and off signals to your condensing unit and blower.

What you Need to Know Before Selecting a new AC unit

Here are a few things to consider when you’re ready to replace an AC:

Installer – Clean workmanship is essential to the long-term operation of a new air conditioner. A shoddy install can cause poor performance and avoidable repairs. Even the most premium equipment cannot compensate for an installation job done poorly. Choose a reputable HVAC contractor to install your equipment. Check out our checklist for choosing the right contractor.

Whole System or Just One Piece – Which part of your system are you looking to replace? Now might be a good time to evaluate if other pieces in your system require replacement, as there are often great incentives to purchase a full system. Another piece of info important to homeowners: most new equipment uses the refrigerant type called R-410A sometimes referred to as Puron. If your existing system uses R-22 refrigerant (also known as Freon), it won’t be compatible with an R-410A system. Due to federal regulations, equipment compatible with R-22 can no longer be sold. So, replacing one piece of your system may lead to replacing others.

Features – There has been a lot of innovation within the cooling industry, and air conditioners can do a lot more these days. Are you interested in a high-efficiency unit? What about systems that offer zoning in your home? Or, does the noise from your current air conditioner keep you awake at night? Brody Pennell carries a wide variety of air conditioner products. So, we can help you find an AC that meets YOUR needs!

How about a heat pump? – Air conditioners are exactly that: cooling only equipment. But have you heard about heat pumps? A heat pump is a combination unit that provides both cooling and heating. Heat pumps are ideal for Los Angeles homes because our winters are so mild. If you have ever considered adding heat to your home, a heat pump is a great way to enhance your home’s comfort without adding a ton of cost.

Brand – How important is brand name to you? Brody Pennell offers top-of-the-line equipment from Carrier, a world leader in HVAC solutions. Millions of people around the world trust the leadership and expertise of Carrier for their homes.

Budget – Consider your spending limit for your air conditioner installation. Depending on the size of your project it could be thousands of dollars. Luckily, Brody Pennell offers financing for our LA customers, which will help break down the cost of your AC install into small monthly payments.
