       7 . The air treatment system of  claim 5  wherein 
 the cover has a cover body with a main body and a shoulder projecting downwardly from the main body,    the shoulder for abutting an upper part of a coil mounted on the base.    
   
   
       8 . The air treatment system of  claim 5  wherein 
 the cover has a cover lip therearound and projecting downwardly therefrom,    the cover has a plurality of spaced-apart tabs projecting downwardly therefrom and adjacent the cover lip, and    the cover tabs located so that an upper part of a housing on the base is positionable between the cover tabs and the cover lip.    
   
   
       9 . The air treatment system of  claim 4  wherein 
 the housing has a housing first end spaced-apart from a housing second end,    a box positioned between the housing first end and the housing second end, the box for electrical items of the system,    the housing first end having a first recess,    the housing second end having a second recess,    the box having a first box edge disposed and held in the first recess, and    the box having a second box edge disposed and held in the second recess.    
   
   
       10 . The air treatment system of  claim 9  further comprising 
 the box having a box front opening,    a box cover for releasable emplacement over the box front opening to close off the box front opening,    the box cover having a first cover edge disposed in and held in the first recess adjacent the first box edge, and    the box cover having a second cover edge disposed in and held in the second recess adjacent the second box edge.    
   
   
       11 . The air treatment system of  claim 11  wherein adjacent box edges and cover edges are held in sealing contact.  
   
   
       12 . The air treatment system of  claim 10  wherein 
 the box has a box flange, and    a single fastener connects the box cover to the box flange.    
   
   
       13 . The air treatment system of  claim 9  wherein the housing recesses are formed integrally of edges of the housing.  
   
   
       14 . The air treatment system of  claim 1  further comprising 
 a coil apparatus on the base.    
   
   
       15 . The air treatment system of  claim 1  further comprising 
 a compressor mounted on a mounting structure on the base.    
   
   
       16 . The air treatment system of  claim 4  further comprising 
 a fan apparatus mounted atop the housing for exhausting air from the housing.    
   
   
       17 . An air treatment system comprising 
 a base, having a substantially horizontal base body,    a first compressor mount structure formed integrally of the base body,    a second compressor mount structure formed integrally of the base body and spaced-apart from the first compressor mount structure,    a housing mounted on the base body, the housing having an upper part defining a top housing opening, the housing having a plurality of spaced-apart openings through which air is flowable into and out of the housing,    a compressor mounted on a mounting structure on the base,    a cover secured to the housing and closing off part of the top housing opening,    the cover having a cover opening through which air is flowable,    the cover having a cover body with a main body portion at a first level,    the cover body having an indented portion at a level higher than the first level for accommodating a top portion of the compressor the compressor mounted on the base beneath the indented portion of the cover,    a coil apparatus on the base, and    a fan apparatus mounted atop the housing for exhausting air from the housing.    
   
   
       18 . A base for an air treatment system, the base comprising 
 a substantially horizontal base body,    a first compressor mount structure formed integrally of the base body, and    a second compressor mount structure formed integrally of the base body and spaced-apart from the first compressor mount structure.    
   
   
       19 . A cover for an air treatment system, the cover comprising 
 a cover body with a main body portion at a first level,    the cover body having an indented portion at a level higher than the first level for accommodating a top portion of a compressor beneath the indented portion of the cover.    
   
   
       20 . The cover of  claim 19  wherein 
 a shoulder projecting upwardly from the main body portion,    the shoulder for abutting an upper part of a coil beneath the cover,    a cover lip around the main body portion and projecting downwardly therefrom,    a plurality of spaced-apart tabs projecting downwardly from the main body portion and adjacent the cover lip, and    the cover tabs located so that an upper part of a housing is positionable between the cover tabs and the cover lip.
