What are the main components of an HVAC system?

The main components are the furnace, the air conditioner, the evaporator, the condenser, and the ductwork. The furnace is the heart of the system, providing heat to the air that is circulated through the ductwork. The air conditioner cools the air that is circulated through the ductwork. The evaporator and condenser are part of the air conditioner and work together to cool the air.

This type of heating and cooling system in a home or commercial space is a complex network of interconnected components, all of which work together to provide a comfortable indoor environment. The system of ducts and vents to distribute the heated or cooled air to the various spaces is essential.
