Heating and cooling is one of the main comfort factors of any home. In fact, heating and cooling systems are major factors for those looking to purchase homes, and are a critical aspect of deciding where to reside.
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning, also referred to as HVAC, is a term used to describe home heating and cooling systems. HVAC systems control air temperature and humidity, and maintain the quality of comfort in the home.
Central Systems
A central heating and cooling systems produce warm or cool air in one central area and then distributes it throughout the home. There are many varieties of systems that work as central systems, from traditional split systems to packaged product systems.
Central heating and cooling systems include:
• Heat Pumps
• Air Conditioners
• Gas and Oil Furnaces
• Fan Coils
• Evaporator Coils
• Controls and Thermostats
Heating
During chilly winter nights whole home heating systems keep your home warm and toasty. If you live in a particularly cold climate, the function of your heating system is a high priority.
Most central heating and cooling systems are classified as forced air systems, because they send air through ductwork for distribution. The ductwork can contain products that filter or clean the air. There are also duct-free options with Bryant for homes that do not have ductwork.
Radiant systems create heat and deliver it via components such as radiators that radiate the heat into the home. Boilers are a traditional radiant heat source.
Typical heating products include:
• Heat Pumps
• Gas and Oil Furnaces
• Fan Coils
• Boilers
Cooling
Whole-home air conditioning systems are central systems that rely on ducts to deliver cooled air throughout the home. Now, homeowner’s without a duct system can have customized heating and cooling added to their homes with Bryant’s duct-free options. An air-conditioning system provides cooling, ventilation, humidity control and even heating (if using a Heat Pump) for a home. Air conditioning units cool refrigerants like Puron® Refrigerant and deliver them to evaporator coils, over which air is then blown to be cooled and ultimately directed through the ducts throughout the home.
Typical air conditioning products include:
• Heat Pumps
• Central Air Conditioners
• Evaporator Coils
Thermostats
When it comes to the temperature of your home having control is a good thing. Bryant has a large variety of top quality Control and thermostat options. The term "thermostat" commonly refers to any unit that controls the operation of a heating and cooling system. Thermostats are used to turn on heating or cooling systems to bring the home to a set temperature. In addition to basic temperature control, programmable thermostats can be used to manage the timing of the system’s functions, which can control overall energy use and costs.
