Central air conditioning is generally installed with a ducted central heating system, however "cooling only" fan-coils can be utilized if your heating needs have already been met. Air Conditioning can also be provided in the form of a "ductless" system. Heat Pumps are simply a type of Air Conditioning unit that can reverse its operation cycle and provide warm air rather than cold air.
Often referred to as "Central" heating, forced air heating is the most common type of heating used in California homes. In forced air heating, a furnace or fan-coil draws air in from your living space, heats the air, then a fan distributes the heated air throughout your home through a network of ducts located in your attic or under-floor crawl space. Fan-coils used in forced air heating, are viable alternatives to the "gas fired" furnaces that have dominated the industry for years. Fan-coils heat the air using either hot water coils or "heat pumps" and offer added flexibility in integrating alternative energy sources such as into your forced air heating solution.
