Precisely the kind of performance you might expect from Lennox
The compressor is the part of the air conditioner
that pumps refrigerant to deliver the cooling your home needs. The XC13’s
scroll compressor is engineered to perform reliably and efficiently in the
harshest conditions.
The perfect amount of quiet
To reduce operating sound levels, the XC13 uses a precision-balanced, direct-drive fan. This lets it operate at a volume as quiet as 74 dB.
Control your cooling and your humidity
Because it’s compatible with the Humiditrol® whole-home dehumidification system, the XC13 can help your indoor air feel cool and comfortable, while maintaining proper humidity levels.
"We've had it just a short time, but has worked very well, is cooling more quickly than our older unit. It is also a bit quieter, and looks good."

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.

- Compressor
- An AC or heat pump compressor is the part of an outdoor air conditioner or heat pump that compresses and pumps refrigerant to meet household cooling requirements.

- 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.

- Refrigerant
Refrigerant is the working fluid used in air conditioners, refrigeration, and heat pump systems. It is a chemical compound that changes temperature as it transitions between liquid and gas form – cooling as it vaporizes, and heating up as it condenses. It is this property that facilitated a system’s ability to heat and cool.
-
- Refrigerant Lines
- Two copper lines that connect the outdoor air conditioner or heat pump to the indoor evaporator coil.

- Scroll Compressor
- A specially designed compressor that works in a circular motion, as opposed to up-and-down piston action.
