While the installation of heating and cooling systems continue to surge in the United States, some of you may wonder about the story behind the HVAC.
At OHA Home Service, we wish to guide our clients right from the first step; which means understanding what an HVAC system is before making the purchase.
The HVAC is an acronym for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. It is installed in residential and commercial properties alike to maintain the air, temperature, and humidity levels inside the building.
The secret component of the system lies in ‘V’: Ventilation.
This signifies a man-made and mechanical exchange of air between the interiors and exterior of a home. The same air is then utilized to make the temperature inside, habitable; warm in winters and cold in summers.
When needed, the heating duct takes over for heating air – marking the ‘H’ in HVAC. While the air conditioning service arrives for your assistance when the humidity gets troublesome – hence the ‘AC’ in HVAC.
In short, having an HVAC system in place means calling the shots on the one climate you can control: The Weather inside Your Home.
Some of you may consider your homes have natural ventilation – doors, windows, exhausts – and thus the installation of an HVAC system may not be needed.
However, let the experts at OHA Home Service tell you that times have changed.
While in earlier times, homes were built using standards and materials that allowed air to easily flow through the home which allowed for ventilation, now the construction is more tightly built- which means lesser ventilation.
Thus, arises the need for mechanical ventilation via the HVAC system – and your need to upgrade!
As per the U.S. Department of Energy, the modern heating systems allow for efficiency levels as high as 97%!
This is why people are making the shift to the newer and more modern heating and cooling systems. In fact, as the HVAC system sales continue on their rising trends, more than 14 million HVAC systems were sold in the U.S. in 2018 alone!
As your fellow Americans make the shift to the smarter, convenient way of living and breathing air – it is about time you do so too, with our help of course!
Once you are sure you wish to go ahead with the contemporary HVAC system installation, it is time to decide what category suits you best. While there are numerous forms of heating and cooling systems, we at OHA Home Service bring you only the cream of the industry:
As the name suggests, this system is ‘split’ into 2 parts: one heats up your home while the other helps in the cooling. The cooling units are placed outside your home with large fans that blow out any warm accumulations from within your home. Conversely, the heating system may be situated in your garage, basement, or any other crawl space, using gas heating.
If you already have the ductwork present in your house – a split HVAC system might be the best and most affordable choice for you
A complete package indeed, the packaged HVAC system comes as a one-unit-offer-all. Usually located high up in the attic, the system takes care of the heating and cooling needs of your home with the help of a single thermostat.
Compact, but surely clever!

Environment-friendly geothermal HVAC systems make use of the heat in the ground to manage the environment of your home.
When you need a geothermal heater – the heat is retrieved from the Earth. While, when in need of geothermal cooling, the heat ‘sinks’ into the cooler regions in the ground and the cooler air is exchanged in the interior air.
Similar to the split HVAC system, the hybrid split has one key difference: the source of power. While the standard heating and cooling system of your home runs on gas, the hybrid one can run on gas or electricity; thereby proving to be energy efficient and considerably quieter!
A duct-free HVAC system installation lets go of the need for air ducts, and instead gives you independent control of your rooms. The heating and cooling systems are individually installed in each room – giving you greater control, reducing energy waste, and proving incredibly advantageous in reducing your utility bills!
Pro tip: If you have created a new room in your home that is not connected to the original ductwork – call us for a duct-free HVAC system installation.
