Choosing an HVAC system
A: There are many options in HVAC, or heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems and many variables between each structure. Chances are good that you will need an HVAC professional to help make the final determination.
HVAC systems, which provide the indoor climate control for both residential and commercial buildings, are actually quite complex. HVAC systems come in many types and applications. They are classified as either central or local. The central air conditioning and heating system provides the necessary heating, cooling, and ventilation from a central location in the building such as from a boiler or furnace. It works by circulating heated water or steam through piping or ductwork to achieve heating and cooling. Each one is designed to accommodate a space specifically, and the configuration of rooms within that space.
Determining the right type of system for your home or building is extremely important for the system to do the job efficiently. If it is working too hard or the system is too large for the space, it results in added costs to run the equipment.
Another advantage in assuring the equipment is a proper fit for your home is that it extends the life of the system. Since HVAC represents a significant investment, it is a good idea to protect that investment with proper use.
The best thing to do is talk to some professionals, and find out what options are reasonable, given your structure and needs, then choose from there. A professional is not only knowledgeable of industry standards, but also of any new technologies.
