What is HVAC?

Written By MomentUI Admin

HVAC is an acronym that stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. The term HVAC is used to describe the complete comfort system that can be used to heat and cool your home, as well as provide improved indoor air quality. HVAC can be easily confused with the term AC, but AC simply refers to air conditioning on its own, while HVAC refers to the broader system, which may or may not include an air conditioning unit.
