What is HVAC, and Why Do You Need It?
Down to the basics, HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning. All HVAC systems are responsible for heating and cooling a home through products like furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, ductwork, and thermostats. For a better understanding, below, we go in-depth about the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning services offered under HVAC.
Three Principal Heating Services Provided by HVAC Systems
In HVAC systems, the central heating system is typically administered through a boiler, furnace, or heat pump, usually located in a basement or boiler room. The heat is transferred by convection, conduction, or radiation, and while air passes through, it distributes heat throughout ducts inside the house. A few services provided by HVAC industry experts are the following.
- Gas furnaces are heating systems that run off natural gas to heat an entire building. Gas furnaces work by having a thermostat telling it to heat the house. Natural gas is ignited in the burner to heat up and filter quality air from compost air and finally distributes the excellent quality air into the home.
- Gas boilers are also a popular central heating system but run entirely off the water. Constantly being heating as if it were a fire running all the time. The way it works is a pump is electronically moving the water-conducting heat that is then transferred into radiators in all the other rooms.
A common question many homeowners have it 'what is the difference between a boiler and water heater? Well, a boiler uses water to steam heat, and a water heater is used to heat water used for cooking and cleaning.

Types of Air Conditioning Units and How It Works
Central air conditioning systems are the most commonly known service provided under HVAC. Homeowners can get a central air conditioning system in multiple shapes, sizes, and ways. The way central air works is the system takes cool air and circulates it through ducts and return registers. A significant benefit of this type of system is that central air helps to dehumidify the air. Vents from central air conditioning systems are usually located in openings in the walls, floors, or grills placed in ceilings.
Additionally, the three types of air conditioning units available are split-system central air conditioners, packaged central air conditioners, and ductless mini-split air conditioners.
