subject: Fairfield Heating And Cooling Professionals [print this page] Fairfield heating and cooling systems are important considerations for homeowners, and the health and comfort of a homes occupants lie with the satisfactory performance of these furnaces and air conditioning systems. These systems have become so important to people that when people are out looking for a home to purchase, if the climate system is not functioning or there is no cooling system in place, many people may actually overlook the option of purchasing that home. The components that are used for Fairfield heating and cooling homes are available in several different models, types, and kinds, and they all have different functions, different benefits, and different drawbacks.
The term HVAC is one that all homeowners should be familiar with. HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. The heating, cooling, and ventilation are the three main purposes that a homes system is supposed to do. The humidity levels and temperatures of the home are controlled by this too, as is the air quality of the home as well. There are different kinds of Fairfield heating and air conditioning systems that can be installed in a home. A central heating and cooling system gives out warm or cool air in one central area, which then goes through those vents to distribute air to the home. There are several components that work together in central systems, such as heat pumps, the air conditioning unit, and there can be gas and oil furnaces, fan coils, evaporator coils, and of course the user controls and thermostats as well.
Most of the Fairfield heating and air cooling systems that are central units are called forced air systems because the air is sent through ductwork to be distributed. These days, many of the ducts contain air filters and air cleaners for added air quality control. The demand for cleaner air inside and outside has increased in recent years, as has the ability to deliver allergen reduced air. There are radiant systems that are designed to create heat and deliver it by things like radiators in homes that have no central systems. Boilers are older, traditional radiant heating sources as well, as are wood burning stoves.
Fairfield heating and cooling systems are available as window units, floor units, central systems, ceiling units, and other types too. Central systems are probably the most popular, and the ductwork that they use is the same ones that the furnace uses. There are now some units in use that serves as both cooling systems and heating systems, instead of having two separate large units being used. Some units also use a heat pump, and these are some types that heat and cool the home.
The air conditioning units use refrigerants like Freon and evaporator coils to get the job done. Even though Fairfield heating and cooling systems can seem confusing and very involved, you can rest assured that your local professional has all the answers to any questions that you may have, so contact them if you need to for the well being of your system.
