What is HVAC?

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, its goal is to provide thermal comfort and healthier indoor air quality. It plays an important role in ventilating large areas such as malls, hotels, apartment buildings, large businesses, on board vessels, and in marine environment.

Heating is the process of making something warm, especially the building. Heating system is a machine used for maintaining temperatures at a satisfactory level; by using thermal energy within a home, office, or other large business.

Ventilation is the process of "changing" or replacing air in any space to provide high indoor air quality. By diluting and displacing indoor pollutants, it can also be used for purposes of thermal comfort or dehumidification, when the introduction of outside air will help to achieve desired indoor conditions.

Air Conditioning is a system for controlling the humidity, ventilation, and temperature in a building or vehicle, typically to maintain a cool atmosphere in warm conditions.
Air ducts can be made of many different materials such as galvanized steel, aluminum, Polyurethane and phenolic insulation panels or pre-insulated air ducts, flexible ducting, fiberglass duct board (pre-insulated non-metallic duct work), and Fabric ducting. Each material has their characteristic that requires different kind of cleaning.

If you notice that your family suffers from allergies or any unexplained symptoms, but you cannot see any reasons why, try checking inside the air ducts.
