HOW IT WORKS
Traditional Air Conditioning is a Closed, Forced Air System that cools and dehumidifies the air in your Home. The system recirculates existing air, drawing it through a central intake, passes it though a fiberglass filter that captures dust and dirt, cools by blowing the air past a refrigerated coil that absorbs heat, and blows it back into your home through a ducting system.
