An air conditioner, as a system, is an exothermic device. The purpose of an air conditioner is to move thermal energy (heat) from one place to another (from inside the house to outside the house). A perfect air conditioner, that is, an air conditioner that requires no energy to move the heat (such as a heat sink) is thermally neutral - it is neither exothermic nor endothermic.

Most devices we consider air conditioners require motors to drive compressors and fans. These motors, and the mechanical devices they drive, give off heat, and it is this excess heat that tips the scale and makes the air conditioner an exothermic device.

The melting of a candle is an endothermic process because heat is required to break the intermolecular forces holding the solid wax together and convert it into a liquid. Energy is absorbed during this phase change.
exothermic- because exothermic gives off heat and endothermic is cold
Burning coal is exothermic because it releases heat energy as a result of the combustion process. This process involves the chemical reaction of coal with oxygen from the air, producing heat, carbon dioxide, and other byproducts.
Yes, photosynthesis is endothermic. The chlorophyll and pigments in the plant absorb the light energy from the sun's rays, as endothermic reaction is that in which energy is absorbed.
yes, as are all mammals. The definition of endothermic is: "... a process or reaction that absorbs energy in the form of heat." (From Wikipedia) So humans can be endothermic if their bodies are absorbing energy from their surroundings. For the most part, humans are exothermic, meaning they release heat energy to their surroundings. Too much time being endothermic and hyperthermia sets in. Our bodies generally need to get rid of excess heat energy. So even if we are in 100 (F) temperature, our bodies still must rid themselves of excess heat. We do so with the aid of evaporating sweat. (And air conditioning, which happens to absorb energy through the evaporation of refrigerant) I wonder if the OP (and the first responder) were using endothermic to represent warm-blooded.

Reactions with oxygen (air) involved, like burning paper, are exothermic. Exception: formation of many nitrogen-oxygen compounds (NOx) are endothermic.

Contact the company which installed your air conditioning system. From there, request to have a service man come out and check that your air conditioning system is functioning properly.
no..
Propagation of sound is not a chemical reaction, so it is neither exothermic nor endothermic. Sound propagation involves the transfer of mechanical energy through a medium, such as air or water, as vibrations. This process does not involve the release or absorption of heat.

A manual air conditioning system is one where you can turn it off and on when you want and control the temperature at which it is set.
Yes, this prevents your air conditioning system from freezing over, similar to a frost free fridge. almost every air conditioning system works like this.
The air comes from the air outside and the air conditioning system in the car turns this into cold or warm air.
Willis Haviland Carrier invented the first air conditioning system.
