Four Main Types of Air Conditioners
Any air conditioning system can stop working, but the costs associated with the types vary widely. Your central air conditioner is probably one of these types:

- Heat pump — An energy efficient alternative that also provides heat
- Packaged central air conditioner — One unit contains the evaporator, condenser and compressor
- Ductless mini-split system — This requires no expensive ductwork
