Definition of Heating & Cooling Terms

HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning)

HVAC systems encompass the technology and equipment used to regulate indoor environmental comfort, including temperature control and air quality. These systems are essential in residential and commercial buildings, providing heating, cooling, and ventilation to maintain a safe and comfortable indoor atmosphere.

Ductless vs. Ducted Systems

Ductless Systems: HVAC systems that provide heating and cooling without the need for ductwork, suitable for room-by-room control.


Ducted Systems: Traditional HVAC systems that use a network of ducts to distribute air throughout a building.

Zone Control Systems

Damper Ducted Systems: These systems use dampers installed within the ductwork to control and direct airflow to specific zones. While they offer zone control in ducted HVAC systems, their effectiveness depends on the proper adjustment of ductwork and blower size. It's essential to ensure that these systems are meticulously designed and balanced to avoid issues like uneven heating/cooling and system strain.


Ductless Systems: Ductless zone control systems, often referred to as mini-split systems, offer a more flexible and efficient approach to zoning, especially advantageous in new constructions. Each zone has its own independent unit, eliminating the need for ductwork and allowing precise temperature control. Ductless systems are easier to install, offer higher energy efficiency, and provide a more direct approach to heating and cooling specific areas of a building.

Smart Thermostats

Smart thermostats are devices that automate HVAC control, enhancing efficiency with their ability to be operated remotely. These innovative tools streamline energy use and provide convenient control over your home’s climate.

Definition of Efficiency and Safety Terms

BTU (British Thermal Unit)

A unit of heat; used to measure the heating power of different energy sources.

Energy Efficiency Ratings

  • SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio): Measures air conditioning cooling efficiency.
  • AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency): Measures furnace heating efficiency.
  • HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor): Measures the efficiency of heat pumps.

EPA Certification

A standard for wood stoves and fireplaces ensuring they meet environmental and efficiency guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors

 Devices that detect carbon monoxide gas to prevent poisoning, essential in homes with combustion appliances.
