Gas and electric central air conditioning systems all require the same equipment.
Central electric cooling.
If you are considering adding central air conditioning to your home the deciding factor may be the need for ductwork.
Modular blowers or electric furnaces hanging furnaces.
Heat pump central air conditioning electric heat and cool self contained package unit air conditioning w heat option.
A forced air delivery vehicle usually a duct system a furnace and an outdoor condenser unit.
Hotel style heating and cooling units ptac wall furnaces.
Electric is powered by electricity.
The most common central cooling system is a split system which includes an outdoor cabinet containing a condenser coil and compressor and an indoor evaporator coil usually installed in conjunction with your furnace or air handler.
Cooling means air conditioning normally done with a heat pump which is the engineering name for air conditioner.
Both systems are interdependent on the furnace unit which is fueled by gas and the condenser which is powered by electricity.
Air handlers and all electric furnaces.
The compressor pumps a chemical called refrigerant through the system.
In an average air conditioned home air conditioning consumes more than 2 000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year causing power plants to emit about 3 500 pounds of carbon dioxide and 31 pounds of sulfur dioxide.
So the unit has a heat pump outside that runs to an air handler inside.
