HP: Heat Pump System. This type of HVAC
system uses a compressor with a reversing valve
to provide both heating and cooling capability.

This system uses an electric heating element
along with a fan and ducting. Sometimes used as
AUX/Emergency heat with a heat pump system.
Electric baseboard heaters are not included in this
system type.
HG: Fuel-fired central heating system. This system
uses a gas or oil burner along with a fan and
ducting, or a hot water baseboard system. Can be
