Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) are the systems that work together to keep your home or building comfortable all year round. You know how sometimes you feel too hot or too cold — like when you're outside playing in the sun or coming in from playing in the snow? HVAC is what makes sure you never feel that way inside.

Heating system keeps you warm in the winter. Remember when you sat in front of the fireplace with your family during winter and felt so cozy? Heating systems work like that! They keep your house warm by using heat energy. However, instead of burning wood, boilers, furnaces or heat pumps that are built into your HVAC system, use other sources of energy like gas, oil or electricity. They, in turn, heat up the air that flows through vents and into your home to keep you warm and toasty.

Ventilation is like when you open a window to get some fresh air. Except, the HVAC system does that for your entire building or home without opening windows or doors. Ventilation helps to bring fresh air into the indoor space and get rid of air that is stale and full of pollutants. HVAC system uses ductwork to move air in and around the building. The fresh air it brings in helps to keep the temperature even across the whole building and helps to keep everyone breathing fresh, clean air.

Air conditioning tackles the opposite problem of heating by keeping you cool on hot days. Air conditioning works by removing the heat and humidity from the air inside your home, using evaporator coils in your HVAC system. It then sends cool air back into each room. Sounds like magic, doesn't it?

All in all, HVAC is like your indoor comfort superhero. It brings in fresh air, warms you up in the winter and cools you down in the summer, making sure you stay comfortable and healthy all year round.
