Why do people call their vehiclesac controls HVAC controls
wouldnt they be like mvac controls or something I shoulda took the test for that when I becam e epa certified then maybe I'd remember.

I'm no expert so dont qoute me here, but
I always thought HVAC meant high volume like the air conditioning used to cool large buildings and stuff

I dont really care but its been so long since i posted that I thought I'd add to the mass of useless posts clogging up the new posts section

<<= i just figured out what rtfm means, derrr

HVAC = heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.

I don't know about you, but my car has a heater.

HVAC never made sense in my mind....now I get the meaning!

To me the VAC always rang a bell for "vacuum cleaner" in my effed up head! heehhe

Well the controls are for the heater, the vent (recirculate, dash, windscreen, floor, speed etc) and the air conditioning. so therefore they are HVAC controls. nuff said!
