air conditioner is a cooling system that uses refrigerant and a compressor to lower room temperature. It works well in all climates and provides powerful, quick cooling. ACs are ideal for homes in hot, humid cities and large rooms. Many modern air conditioners come with features like inverters, filters, and dehumidifiers.
