HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning, encompassing systems for indoor climate control and air quality.

An HVAC damper controls airflow in ducts, helping direct air to specific zones and enhancing energy efficiency.

HVAC sensors monitor system performance and conditions, relaying data to maintain optimal temperature and airflow.

A hybrid system combines a heat pump with a furnace, switching between the two for efficient year-round heating and cooling.

HFOs are eco-friendly refrigerants designed to replace older, harmful AC refrigerants with a lower global warming potential.

A hygrometer measures indoor humidity levels, showing how much water vapor is in the air for optimal comfort.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the cleanliness and healthiness of the air in your home, impacting your family’s well-being and the efficiency of your HVAC system. Good IAQ can reduce allergens, pollutants, and humidity levels, promoting a healthier indoor environment.

An HVAC load calculation determines the optimal HVAC system size needed to efficiently heat and cool your home. This process ensures comfort without wasting energy.

A matched system integrates two HVAC units, such as a furnace and air conditioner, to work in unison for efficient heating and cooling. This pairing enhances comfort, performance, and energy efficiency in the home.

A micron, or micrometer, is a tiny measurement equal to one-millionth of a meter. This unit is often used to describe the size of airborne particles like dust, smoke, and pollen in air filtration.

Mini-split HVAC systems provide heating and cooling for individual rooms without needing ductwork, making them ideal for targeted comfort and energy efficiency. They feature an outdoor unit paired with indoor units that heat or cool specific areas, common in spaces without central HVAC systems.

MERV ratings measure an HVAC filter's effectiveness in capturing particles, indicating how well the filter removes contaminants like dust, pollen, and smoke from the air. Higher MERV ratings mean better air filtration and improved indoor air quality.

A multipose furnace allows flexible installation in various positions, adapting to different spaces and duct configurations, which can simplify installation and maintenance.

NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certifies HVAC technicians through knowledge-based testing, ensuring proficiency in installation and service for quality assurance.

An oil furnace burns oil to produce heat, which is then circulated throughout the home. It's a common heating choice for colder climates, as it provides reliable and consistent warmth.
