Understanding Your HVAC System
Your HVAC system has three main functions to provide acceptable indoor air quality while keeping your home at a comfortable temperature.
Heating:
For starters, your furnace or boiler makes up the heating component of your HVAC system and has a pipe system for the fluid carrying the heat or ductwork if you have a forced air system.
Ventilation:
Next, the ventilation component of your HVAC system can be natural or forced. With forced ventilation, you can expect your system to also have air cleaning capabilities.
Air Conditioning:
Last is your air conditioning, which removes heat from your home's interior and replaces it with cool air. In the event one or all of these parts malfunction, you'll know!
