HVAC stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - the three main systems that keep indoor spaces comfortable. HVAC systems circulate air, regulate temperature, remove pollutants, and control humidity. Understanding HVAC systems helps us to maintain a safe, healthy, and comfortable environment.

Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) is a technology that provides indoor and vehicular environmental comfort. It controls temperature, humidity, air quality, and air movement in a space or vehicle. The three main components of a HVAC system are the heater, air conditioner, and ventilation system. The heater heats the air to a comfortable temperature, the air conditioner cools it, and the ventilation system circulates the air. A HVAC system requires regular maintenance to ensure it is functioning properly. This includes changing the air filter, cleaning the coils and blower, and checking the system for any leaks or other problems.

HVAC systems are made of six main components: a thermostat, a condenser, an evaporator, a compressor, a blower, and air ducts. HVAC systems have been around since ancient Egypt and China, where they used wind catchers and water evaporation to cool homes. Modern HVAC systems are capable of using energy more efficiently than ever before and can save homeowners up to 40% on their energy bills.
