The acronym “HVAC” stands for “heating, ventilation, and air conditioning”.
In the industry we hear this term thrown around often and many customers might know that the “H” stands for heat, or that the “AC” stands for air conditioning, but the “V” is what throws people the most. It’s the ventilation that is process of exchanging air in a space and is in most cases exchanging air in ones entire home. That forced air exchange is what makes HVAC so effective. Imagine how chill some rooms would get in the winter time if there was just one heat source like a wood stove in one corner of a 3,000 sqft home if you will. The extra heat needed to be created in the immediate vicinity of the stove would have to be quite hot in order to warm up the air in the far corners of the complete home. 

The process of this exchanging of air has a great side effect. Not only are you getting fresh clean air, but it also removes humidity in a home which contributes in a large way to felt comfort when it comes to room temperature. In fact in many areas of the country many home owners cool homes with just dehumidifying the interior living space.
