Heating and cooling are two of the most important elements of home ownership. In fact, heating and cooling systems are major factors for homeowners and people looking to purchase homes. These two elements are critical aspects to comfortable indoor living.
Frequently, you may have heard the term “HVAC”, which is used to describe home heating and cooling systems. The acronym stands for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning. These are the three (3) primary functions of a home system. These three (3) functions control air temperature and humidity, and also maintain the quality of the air in the home.
Heating systems keep your home warm and comfortable. If you live in a particularly cold climate, the function of your heating system is a high priority.
Air-conditioning systems rely on ducts throughout the home to deliver cooled air throughout. An air-conditioning systems provides cooling, ventilation, humidity control for a home. Air conditioning units cool refrigerants and deliver them to evaporator coils over which air is then blown to be cooled and ultimately directed through the ducts in the home.
Central heating and cooling systems produce warm or cool air in one central area and then distributes it throughout the home.
Thermostats are used to turn on heating or cooling systems to bring the home to a pre-set temperature. In addition to basic temperature control, programmable thermostats can be used to manage the timing of the system’s functions, which can control overall energy use and costs.
