What Exactly Is HVAC?

HVAC encompasses the combined components that manage your home's temperature. A complete HVAC installation is made up of a boiler or furnace for winter comfort, a central cooling component for hot-day comfort, and a duct system that distributes airflow throughout every area in your home.

Mechanically, an HVAC unit works by drawing in air from inside your home, heating or cooling it through a series of mechanical components, and then returning it through ducts and vents. The thermostat acts as the control center of the entire operation, instructing each component when to turn on. Modern HVAC systems also include moisture regulation and filtering to protect cleaner breathing environments.

There are multiple types of HVAC setups used in residential properties: traditional split configurations are the standard choice, relying on an indoor air handler and outdoor compressor. Packaged units contain everything in a single enclosure. Heat pumps are capable of both heating and cooling, a feature that makes them very cost-effective in temperate areas like Walnut Creek.
