Central Air Conditioner Service in Portola Valley

About Central Air Conditioners

Central air conditioning systems cool your entire home through a network of ducts. An outdoor condenser unit removes heat while an indoor evaporator coil absorbs heat from circulated air. This mature technology provides effective whole-home cooling when properly sized and maintained. Central AC pairs with your furnace or air handler, sharing the ductwork and blower system.

How It Works

The outdoor condenser compresses refrigerant and releases heat outside. Cooled refrigerant flows to the indoor evaporator coil. The blower circulates indoor air over the cold coil, removing heat and humidity. Cooled air distributes through ductwork to every room. The cycle repeats until your thermostat setpoint is reached.
