A central air conditioning unit is a system designed to cool an entire building or home. It works by circulating cool air through a network of ducts, which distribute the air to different rooms. The unit typically consists of an outdoor compressor and an indoor evaporator coil, which work together to remove heat and humidity from the air. These systems are often more efficient than individual room air conditioners, as they can maintain a consistent temperature throughout the space. Central air conditioning units are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings, providing comfort during hot weather months.
