A correct one would be better.. > The air conditioner > compresses the cooling chemical in the system, causing it to heat up.

Damn..your funny.. I gota print this one out.. . – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –

If you did this you would actually heat the room. an A/C doesn’t actually cool a room it just moves the heat outside. in doing so the compressor creates it’s own heat added with the heat it moves. leaving the whole unit inside would just heat the room it is in.  -=> HvacTech2 <=- ..
