Forgive my ignorance... But
Can someone describe the different components of a Central AC System.. I know this sounds very basic.. but in a home we are purchasing it has three components.. The compressor is outside and another component is in the attic (Im assuming thats the Coil???).. The home then has this large furnance(???) in the basement thats mounted from the ceiling..
The reason why I ask this, is because the only few people I know that has Central Air only has two components.. The outside compressor and the coil in their attic or closet.. Atleast thats what they are telling me.. If thats true what is this large furnance in the basement? Is this an old set thats no longer used anymore? woud reaplacing this cause a major overhaul of the entire system..
I have a couple of HVAC people coming on Sat to review the system and provide quotes. I would like to be alittle more knowledgeable before Sat.
thanks again..
