Do you pull air from outside the House?

Many people seem to believe that air conditioners pull fresh air from outside the house and bring it inside. For some, this causes concern when there are high pollen days or a lot of pollutants in the air. The truth is that most air conditioners do not pull air from outside.

Is the air conditioner bringing in dirty air from outside?

A question that I get asked often (and that I have always wondered about) is whether my wall-mounted air conditioner is bringing in dirty air from outside. If so, it’d be safer not to use it, especially on really bad days. My short answer is no.

Why is it bad to have recirculated air in your car?

The nature of recirculated air means that its’ already been breathed in and out by other occupants riding along with you. Thus, it’s sapped of oxygen and filled with moisture. That combination can make you groggy, which can hinder your concentration and safe driving ability.

How does the air come out of the air conditioner?

The air conditioner pump, called the compressor, sucks warm air out of your home, removing it outside with the help of a special fluid, refrigerant. Encased in a closed metal loop, this refrigerant offers a shuttle for this heat exchange.

Why is my a / C not blowing any air?

Sometimes it’s in the actual mechanical part of the A/C. And sometimes it’s only in the “air movement” part of the system. If you are not getting any air blowing out the vents but the vents feel cold, AND you can hear the blower fan running, then it might simply be a restricted cabin air filter.
