True

The size of the supply and the size of the return air duct should be approximately the same size.

False

A forced air furnace should be located close to one of the exterior walls so that the condensation can be easily pumped to the exterior.

True

Spaces between studs and spaces between floor joists can be used to replace metal cold air return ductwork.

True

There should be a floor drain located near the furnace to collect condensate produced while cooling air during the air-conditioning cycle.

False

Thermostats (as long as it is placed on an interior wall) can be located without restriction.

True

When a chimney is placed on the roof - the top of the chimney must be 24" (2 feet) above anything within 10 foot radius (horizontally) from the chimney. (by code)

on exterior walls below windows

When we are using a "forced air" heating system - the heat vents should be located:

Heating Venting and Air Conditioning

HVAC stands for:

Ability to heat and cool

An ADVANTAGE of a "Forced Air" heating system is:

invisible

An ADVANTAGE of a "Radiant Panel" heating system is:

on interior walls

Return air" vents should generally be located:

on interior walls
on exterior walls

The location of the warm air supply vent should be:

return air duct

The _______________ is a large duct, which is designed to draw the air from the interior spaces and send that air back to the furnace.

radiant

A heat source, which heats our bodies, our furniture and the surfaces of our rooms without directly heating the air, is a simple example of _________________ heat.

convection

_________________ is the transfer of heat by the circulation of air. A forced air heating system is an example of this type of heat.

hydronic baseboard

In a _______________heating system, water is heated in a central boiler and pumped through insulated pipes which flows through baseboard registers located in each room.

electric baseboard, radiant stove

There are a number of heating devices that produce heat or cool locally, independent of a central system or boiler. Two types of local source heaters are _______________________ and ____________________.
