Tips for selecting an HVAC system

A new HVAC system is one of the most important purchases one can make for their home. U.S. homes use air conditioning in more than 75 percent of cases, and 90 percent of new homes have central air conditioning. One can enjoy their home more comfortable with an efficient HVAC system.

FREMONT, CA: Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) refers to the technology that regulates the atmosphere of a home. The abbreviation HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. HVAC systems allow occupants to regulate space heating and cooling temperatures. They are also known as some common components, including ductless air conditioning units, boilers, central air conditioners, heat pumps, and furnaces.

Types of HVAC Systems

There are four primary types of HVAC systems: split systems, hybrid systems, ductless heating, air conditioning systems, and packaged heating and air conditioning systems. Individuals should select the option that best fits their home and budget.

Split system: "Split" between two principal units or systems (one for cooling and one for heating) are most prevalent among HVAC systems.

Hybrid system: The primary difference between hybrid and split systems is that the hybrid system is equipped with a hybrid electric heater system.

Ductless system: Ductless system consists of an outside air conditioner for cooling and a heat pump for cooling and heating; suitable for residences where conventional duct systems cannot be installed.

Packaged system: Packaged system provides high-quality heating and cooling in a single unit, typically used in homes without basements and installed outside.

Considerations for an HVAC System

Home Comfort: Temperature and Air Quality

Always consider the impact of various heating and cooling systems on indoor temperature, energy consumption, and air quality. For instance, did you know incorporating UV light into your HVAC system can improve your EPA indoor air quality rating? A little research will assist

individuals in addressing airborne particle content and identifying the most effective HVAC system for reducing humidity.
