what is the outside unit of an air conditioner called

The outside unit of an air conditioner is most commonly referred to as the "condenser unit". It is responsible for expelling the heat absorbed from your home to the outside environment. The condenser plays a crucial role in the cooling process, releasing heat absorbed from your homes interior to the outside environment. The primary components of the outdoor unit include the compressor, propeller fan, circuit board, and heat exchange coil. The compressor adds pressure to the refrigerant so it can continue to cycle throughout the system, while the refrigerant runs through the condenser coil as it condenses and turns into a liquid.
