Understanding Your HVAC System
Not all heating and cooling systems are the same. Knowing what type of system you have helps you understand how it operates, how it’s serviced, and what repair or replacement options make the most sense.
Common HVAC System Types
Whether your system is a split unit or a rooftop package unit, it can be either gas or electric. The terms “split” and “rooftop” describe where the equipment is located, not how it heats your home.
Rooftop Package Unit
- All components are contained in a single unit, typically on the roof
- Common in commercial buildings and some residential homes
- Saves indoor space and simplifies duct connections
Heat Pump System
- Provides both cooling and heating using electricity
- Transfers heat instead of generating it
- Popular in the Central Valley for energy efficiency and mild winters
Split System
- The most common setup in homes
- Includes an outdoor condenser and an indoor unit (coil + furnace or air handler)
- Can be paired with gas heating or operate as a heat pump
Gas + AC System
- Uses a gas furnace for heating and a separate AC system for cooling
- Reliable and powerful, especially in larger homes
