Heatingand cooling are the two basic concepts in physics.Whole physics revolve around these two factors and it is interesting to knowthat these two factors are complementary. When the temperature rises i.e. heatis more then we need some cooling effect and vice versa. But generally we donot take these two factors seriously; they are mostly taken for granted. Weneed heating systems in winters and cooling systems in summers, as it is not anatural process to get heat in winters and vice versa so we have to use variousproducts that are available in the market.

For the use of anyproduct we should be aware of the basics of working to avoid any failure infuture. Like every product has a different working principle same is with the Heating and Cooling products. As thecost of these products is a bit high, so if you know the basics than you can cutthe service cost if there is not a major damage and can fix it yourself.

The basic function of Heating and Cooling system is asfollows. All the climate control systems are generally made of threecomponents: a source of air (warm/cold), a means that distribute the air intorooms and a controller that used to regulate the system known as thermostat isscientific language. If there is a problem in your system then any of thesethree components are not working properly.

Like water flows fromhigher level to lower level, both Heatingand Cooling work on the same principle that heat always flows from warmobject to cold one. Heaters put heat into the air to make the room warmer andcoolers remove the heat to cool the room. Cooling systems always use electricityand heaters can either use the electricity or burning of fuels and gases. Thecontroller in summer extracts the heat from the air inside the room and inwinter it extracts the heat from the outer air to heat the room.

You know that half ofthe energy of your home is used in heatingand cooling products and they mostly affect your electricity bills. Theseproducts basically contains a filter that is used to purify the air and theregular use of these filters makes them dirty so proper cleaning of the filtersat regular intervals are required specially when the use of the products are atthe peak. You should also change these filters after a certain amount of timebecause filters also possess the expiry date.

You can also useprogrammable thermostat that are useful to those who are mostly out of theirhouse. In this thermostat or controller you can set a time period which cansave your money and electrical energy. The ducts (both heating and cooling) that are used to the flow of air can besealed. This is also an energy saver and money saver too, because airconditioner and heating pumps are mostly the energy wasters so by sealing theducts will help in saving the energy and efficiency will also get improved.
