Ventilation: The “V” in HVAC and Why It’s Essential

Monday, June 23rd, 2025

When people think of HVAC systems, the focus is usually on heating (the “H” in HVAC) and air conditioning (the AC). However, your home’s ventilation system (also referred to as ductwork or air ducts) is an important component. In fact, that’s what the “V” in HVAC stands for. At Bayonet Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, we want Florida homeowners to know that keeping your ventilation system clean is essential not just for your AC’s performance but for your home’s air quality as well.
