Johnson Controls owns both York and Coleman. In fact, the products are made in the same factory and are identical except for badging and color. Warranties, including a one-year warranty on labor, are the same as well.

So the answer to this question is: although the term “air conditioning” describes two different types of cooling, it has long since become synonymous with comfort cooling in everyday speech. In that regard, comfort cooling is indeed the same as air conditioning.

While “air conditioner” refers to the machine that regulates temperature in a building, “air-conditioning” refers to the action performed by that machine. Another difference between “air-conditioning” and “air conditioner” is that, in addition to being a noun, “air-conditioning” can also work as a verb.

Heat load – Typically, comfort cooling systems need to remove a smaller amount of heat produced by human occupancy or office equipment, while industrial process cooling systems must remove heat generated by machinery and other processes, which can be much higher.
