The Difference Between HVAC and Air Conditioning
If your home has central air, it can be one of the most important items in your house during the summer. In the event that your air conditioner needs service, you may call an HVAC company to help. However, there is a difference between your HVAC system and your air conditioner. Let’s take a look at what that difference is.
Your Air Conditioner Is a Standalone Component in the Home
When a problem occurs with your air conditioner, it generally doesn’t interfere with your ability to heat your home or push air through ducts inside of it. An air conditioner simply cools your home but doesn’t do anything beyond that.
Therefore, if your home is having trouble getting cold, an HVAC professional from Gilmore Heating Air and Plumbing in Placerville will generally only spend time looking at this one component. At Gilmore Heating Air and Plumbing, we can repair, install or maintain air conditioners as well as maintain your home’s furnace in a convenient and affordable manner.
The HVAC Refers to the Entire System
Your HVAC system includes your furnace, geothermal pump or other product used to keep your home warm. It also includes your air conditioner and the assorted parts needed to keep the home cold.
The ducts that carry air to and from your home are part of its HVAC system as well. It may be necessary to have them inspected or cleaned by a professional on a regular basis to ensure that they function properly.
In some cases, issues with an air conditioner may actually be caused by improperly installed or dirty ducts. This is why it is important to have a professional diagnose the issue as it can save you both time and money.
If you need to have an HVAC component repaired, maintained or replaced, contact our Placerville, CA, office today! In addition to standard HVAC service, we can also help with leaky faucets, broken toilets or other plumbing needs that your home may have.
