Your heating and cooling system keeps your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. But there’s more than temperature when it comes to home comfort. Your HVAC system can purify and enhance the air within your home, maintain optimal humidity levels and much more.
Understanding how HVAC systems work requires a look at the primary components that make up your system.
Let’s take a look at the different types of HVAC systems.
The type of HVAC system used in your home is dependent on the configuration of your home’s ductwork and type of energy supply. Each system typically includes either a furnace or electric heat pump to deliver heated air, an air conditioner to provide cooled air, ductwork to allow warm and cool air to travel throughout your home and a thermostat to control system functions.
How these components work together is where each system differs. Residential heating and cooling typically falls into one of the following system categories.
A geothermal system consists of two primary components: a ground source heat pump situated inside your house and a closed loop of Polyethylene Pipe that is buried deep in the ground exterior around your home. A set of pumps circulates a fluid mixture antifreeze through the loop in the ground. As the fluid circulates, it acts as a heat exchanger, either dispersing or collecting heat from the earth.
Beyond heating and cooling, there are several additional factors to consider when understanding how an HVAC system works. These factors can impact your energy costs and influence the health and comfort of your home.
