An air conditioner includes an outdoor unit including a compressor, first and second indoor heat exchangers to receive a refrigerant from the outdoor unit, the second indoor heat exchanger receiving the refrigerant independently of the first indoor heat exchanger, and a fan disposed between the first and second indoor heat exchangers. First and second refrigerant pipes form flow paths between the outdoor unit and the first and second indoor heat exchangers. First and second expansion valves are disposed on the first and second refrigerant pipes. Third and fourth refrigerant pipes form flow paths between the compressor and the first and second indoor heat exchangers. A first opening and closing valve selectively opens and closes a fifth refrigerant pipe to selectively allow refrigerant to flow between the second and third refrigerant pipes.
