HVAC covers all aspects of an air conditioning system. “H”, of course stands fo heating. Heating with gas would involve a gas furnace. Heating with electricity would involve an electric air handler. You can also heat and cool with a heat pump.

The “V” in HVAC stands for ventilation. Ventilation would include all the plenums, duct work, and vents. The ventilation system brings air from the room into the heating or air conditioning system and returns it to the room.

The “AC” in HVAC is obviously the air conditioning system. By the way, an air conditioner does not cool the air. An air conditioner removes heat from the house and puts it outside. The most common residential is a split system which puts the air conditioning condenser outside, and the gas furnace and evaporator coil inside. All you really need to know is call 5 Star for your Highland Park, TX HVAC needs.

What is a Heat Pump?

Simply put, a heat pump has the ability to be air conditioning in reverse. What does that mean? A heat pump cools a home like a standard air conditioner. An air conditioner removes heat from the home and puts it outside. It does this by means of a refrigerant. When it’s hot outside and the air conditioner is running, you can put your hand above the outside condenser and feel the heat.

So how does a heat pump heat your home? Air conditioning in reverse. A heat pump has a reversing valve that allows the air conditioner to run in reverse. Instead of removing warm air from inside your house and putting it outside, a heat pump takes heat from the outside and puts it inside the house. That’s right, even if it is cold outside there is heat in the air that can be removed and put inside your home. Here’s an FYI. It is cheaper to move heat than to create heat, so a heat pump is much more efficient and costs less than running electric heat. 5 Star HVAC can install a heat pump system in your Highland Park home.
