Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (H.V.A.C.) is a climate control system. Described here is the HVAC system for home or small office. This type of system is known as A Split, Forced Air Heating and Air Conditioning System.
Older systems heated the air and passively allowed air to circulate. Modern heating and cooling systems actively circulate the air with blower fans.
