In my regular partnership we would start the bidding 1♣-1♦-1♥.
Our 1♣ opening is either natural or balanced 11-14/18-19. Partner would transfer to ♥'s, and I'd rebid 1♥, showing all hands with 3 card support and some with 4. My next rebid would depend on parnters rebid. 2♥, showing 6-9 with 5card suit or 4c unbalanced, I'd raise to 4♥. Over 2♣ (puppet to 2♦), I'd rebid 2NT showing 18-19 with 3-card support. Etc.
In standard methods, I'd just rebid 2NT, to show 18-19 balanced.
I'd always upgrade this hand to 18.
