"When it comes to HVAC, most people are familiar with conventional 'split-systems' like the ones in our homes. Not many people are as familiar with heat pumps, which often prompt questions like: 'What is a heat pump?'

Do you ever stop and think “Wow, my HVAC system certainly works great!”? Probably not. Most times, we don’t think about heating, ventilation, or air-conditioning until it stops working properly. But, how do we define “working properly” for HVAC? Does it mean “warm enough” or “cool enough”? Or is there more?
This presentation will describe many purposes of the HVAC systems, and what can go wrong if it isn’t working properly – even if the temperature is ok!
