If you’re a new homeowner or looking to buy a new home and keep hearing the term HVAC thrown around by realtors–you might feel confused about what they’re referring to. Don’t worry, you’re not alone!
In today’s blog post, Air Authority answers the question: What does HVAC stand for? And offers a few tips on maintaining a healthy HVAC system year-round.
HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. HVAC refers to both your furnace and air conditioning systems, as well as the air duct systems that move air throughout your home. The acronym combines your entire heating and cooling system, and the same type of technician can service both. Commercial buildings also refer to their heating and cooling system by using the term HVAC.
Most people don’t overthink how their HVAC system works until it stops working! HVAC repairs and replacements can be costly, and going without a properly functioning HVAC system can be unbearable during extreme heat or cold. This is why it’s essential to learn how your HVAC system works and adequately maintain it.
Your HVAC does more than just control temperature–it helps move air throughout your home and removes dirt, dust, allergens, and other particles from the air via filters in your ductwork.
The most common HVAC system is called a “split system,” with a furnace inside and an AC unit outside your home. This type of system moves air through ductwork and filters inside your home, heating or cooling it according to your thermostat setting.
To make sure your HVAC is ready for cold winters and hot summers, you need an experienced HVAC technician to service your unit regularly before the weather becomes extreme.
Your HVAC technician will inspect your furnace, AC unit, filters, and ductwork and ensure everything functions correctly. Sticking to a regular maintenance schedule can help prevent costly repairs and potential damage to your home.
