What is an HVAC system?
HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. It’s a system that keeps your home or building comfortable year-round by controlling the temperature, humidity, and air quality.
Here’s a breakdown of its three main functions:
- Heating: Provides warmth during cold weather, typically through a furnace, boiler, or heat pump.
- Ventilation: Brings in fresh air and removes stale or polluted air, often using fans and ducts.
- Air Conditioning: Cools the air during hot weather, usually through an air conditioner or heat pump.
These functions can be combined in different ways depending on the specific system and your needs. For example, some HVAC systems use heat pumps that can both heat and cool the air, while others may have separate heating and cooling units.
Here are some additional things to know about HVAC systems:
- They can be quite complex, with a variety of components working together.
- Regular maintenance is important to keep them running efficiently and dependability.
- Choosing the right HVAC system for your home or building can be a challenge, so it’s important to consult with a qualified professional.
- Newer HVAC systems are becoming increasingly energy-efficient, which can help you save money on your energy bills.

How often to change HVAC filter?
It depends on a few factors, like the type of filter, your system usage, and the air quality in your home. Generally, though, we recommend checking your filter every month and replacing it at least every 3 months, or more often if you have pets, allergies, or live in a dusty area.
A clean filter is essential for optimal airflow and efficiency, not to mention better air quality. Unsure about your specific needs? Reach out to CTI – we’ll be happy to assess your system and offer tailored filter recommendations.
How long does HVAC last?
Determining an HVAC system’s lifespan depends on several factors, but here’s a general idea:
- Furnaces: 15-20 years with proper maintenance
- Air conditioners: 10-15 years with proper maintenance
- Heat pumps: 10-20 years with proper maintenance
However, specific factors can affect this:
- Climate: Harsh weather conditions like extreme heat or cold can shorten lifespan.
- Usage: Frequent or heavy use puts more strain on the system.
- Maintenance: Regular tune-ups and upkeep extend lifespan and prevent problems.
- Quality: Higher-quality systems generally last longer than budget options.
Remember, proper maintenance is key! Regular tune-ups and filter changes can add years to your HVAC system’s life. If you’re unsure about maintenance routines or optimal replacement timing, don’t hesitate to consult CTI!
