Be sure that the furnace is "A/C Ready." Some older furnaces will not support a condenser (Air Conditioner) without additional electrical work. Sometimes a new furnace is even required. The furnace is what moves the air through the home, be it cool air or hot air. A coil will also need to be purchased in addition to the condenser for a central air system to be functional.

The sizing of the condenser is also important, as an under- or over-sized condenser will be a lot less efficient and productive than a properly sized unit.
