What is an HVAC System?
HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning—it’s an acronym used when talking about your entire heating and cooling system. A residential HVAC system heats and cools your home, and it can even provide improved air quality and humidity control.
HVACs come in many forms, made up of a system of individual components—AC units, heat pumps, furnaces, air handlers, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers. There are four main types of HVAC systems, designed to best serve your heating, cooling, and energy-efficiency needs:
- Split Systems: By far the most common for residential applications, these HVAC systems are split between two main units, one for heating and one for cooling. The AC unit sits outside the home, using refrigerant, compressors, and coils to cool air, while the heating system is within the home using gas to heat the house. These systems are centrally controlled by a single thermostat and tend to be the most common because of their versatile applications.
- Hybrid Split Systems: These systems are essentially the same as traditional split HVAC systems, with one key difference—they allow you to switch between gas and electricity for heating. They tend to be used in more mild climates where homeowners can take advantage of this feature to save on energy costs.
- Ductless (Mini-Split): This duct-free HVAC system requires more regular cleaning and maintenance, but it offers superior environmental control. Individual heating and cooling units are mounted on walls in each room, and all are attached to a single outdoor compressor. While the upfront cost can be higher with these systems, they are very efficient and provide excellent energy conservation.
- Packaged Heating & Air: These are the least common of HVAC systems, as they are a compact, combined heating and AC unit. They offer high efficiency and work well in warmer climates because the heating capabilities are less powerful than the cooling options.
Components of a HVAC System
HVAC systems contain a number of components that work together seamlessly to heat or cool your home. Below is a list of some of the most common components and terms associated with HVAC systems:
- Air Conditioner: Removes heat and moisture from indoor air
- Evaporator: Absorbs heat from indoor air
- Condenser: Releases heat to the outside
- Compressor: Circulates refrigerant through the system
- Heat Pump: Transfers heat from the outside air or ground to the inside of your home
- Furnace: Warms air using gas, oil, or electricity
- Thermostat: Centrally controls temperature in your home
- Ductwork: Delivers heated or cooled air throughout your home
- Air Handler: Circulates heated or cooled air throughout your home
- IAQ Products: Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) products improve air quality in your home and include things like air filters, UV bulbs, and in-duct air purifiers
