| | An increased demand for HVAC systems has also increased the demand for professionals in the HVAC installation/removal field and others positions related to heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Consumers have also more recently expressed the desire to increase their own personal knowledge of HVAC systems and their potential benefit to their particular situations.
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, commonly referred to as HVAC systems, provide a regulated climate within a building. This type of climate control is typical inside office buildings, service facilities and retail locations.
Air is delivered to and removed from spaces through a process known as room air distribution. Room air distribution results are achieved through a unique balance of HVAC equipment and functionality that preserves air pressure relationships between spaces, while reducing air infiltration and providing proper ventilation. It is through the relatively complex HVAC installation/removal procedures, the physical HVAC equipment and room area distribution process that a controlled climate is achieved for year round comfort indoors.
Forced Air HVAC heating systems provide the option of double duty performance, as the ductwork required for the heating system is capable of being utilized as the ductwork for an HVAC air conditioning system during warmer months of the year. Boiler fed HVAC heating systems distribute the heat generated from the hot water provided by the boiler through pipes, making this type of HVAC heating system equipment non-conducive to being used to distribute cold air. With the exception of thermostats and ductwork or pipe and possibly the condenser, HVAC equipment is typically located in a furnace room, utility room or maintenance room. The HVAC equipment is typically maintained and repaired as required by HVAC technicians who have met the educational requirements necessary to perform duties such as HVAC installation/removal.
