Lennox replacement AC
December 14, 2024Looks lovely. However we had it installed in November in Canada. Won't know how it performs for another 6 months. Given it's another ton and the condensor was moved to a more advantageous position I am hoping that our colling is improved over the old suystem

Glossary of terms
-
- Air Handler
- An air handler, or air handling unit, is the indoor part of an air conditioner or heat pump that moves cooled or heated air throughout the ductwork of your home. It is usually a large metal box containing important elements of an HVAC system that controls airflow and filtration. Lennox® air handlers are among the most efficient and quietest you can buy.

- Central Air-Conditioning
Developed in the 1960s, central air conditioning or central AC is the most common type of whole-home HVAC system used in the United States today. A central AC system’s job is to cool air in a central location and distribute it evenly throughout a home or other multi-room space. This centralization eliminates the complications of cooling each space separately while maximizing efficiency and comfort.

- Coil
Understanding HVAC Coils and How They Work
Coils are the most important part of your HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system. They make your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Understanding how your HVAC coils work and what to do to maintain them play a big role in saving you from a broken heat pump or air conditioner.

- Condenser
- A condenser (or AC condenser) is the outdoor portion of an air conditioner or heat pump that either releases or collects heat, depending on the time of the year.

- Decibel (dB)
- A decibel (dB) is a unit used to measure the relative intensity of sound. For example, sound levels in a library are normally about 40 dB, normal conversations range from about 50 to 60 dB, and an operating motorcycle or garbage truck can be as high as 100 dB.

- Fan Coil Unit
- A fan coil unit (FCU) is a device that uses a coil and a fan to heat or cool a room without connecting to ductwork. Indoor air moves over the coil, which heats or cools the air before pushing it back out into the room. FCUs can be less expensive to install than ducted systems, and are available in ceiling, floor-mounted and freestanding configurations.
