At Marsh Heating & Air Conditioning, we’ve been keeping Minneapolis cool since 1974, and one way we ensure optimal home comfort is by understanding the basic components of HVAC systems and how they work. Here’s a breakdown to help you grasp the essentials of your HVAC system:
1. Thermostat: The control center of your HVAC system, where you set your desired temperature.
2. Evaporator Coil: This component cools the air as it passes over, located in or near your air handler.
3. Condenser Coil: It is often located outside and releases the absorbed heat from your home.
4. Compressor: A crucial component that prepares the refrigerant for heat exchange and is located in the external unit.
5. Fan: Helps circulate air through the evaporator coil for cooling and through the condenser coil to expel absorbed heat outside.
6. Air Filters: These trap dust, pollen, and other airborne particles as air moves through the system, ensuring clean air circulates back into the room.
7. Ductwork: Channels through which heated or cooled air travels throughout your home.
