Replacing Air Conditioner What To Replace?

So, your air conditioner has finally quit. A technician found that the condenser (aka outdoor unit), needs to be replaced. The other main part – the evaporator - is still OK, so you’re tempted to just replace the condenser. Don’t do it.

Let me explain. There are two main parts in an air conditioner, the evaporator and the condenser. You’ve never seen the evaporator.
