by Myth #1: Bigger is Always Better for AC Units
Many homeowners assume that a larger air conditioning unit will cool their home more effectively. However, this is a common misconception. An oversized AC unit will cool your space too quickly, leading to frequent cycling on and off. This constant starting and stopping can put unnecessary strain on the system, resulting in higher energy bills and premature wear and tear.
Myth #2: HVAC Maintenance is Unnecessary
Some homeowners believe that if their heating and cooling system is running, there’s no need for regular maintenance. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Regular maintenance can:
- Improve energy efficiency
- Extend the lifespan of your system
- Identify and address small issues before they become major problems
Myth #3: Closing Vents in Unused Rooms Saves Energy
It may seem logical to close vents in rooms that are not frequently used to save energy. However, this practice can actually increase your energy costs and strain your HVAC system. Closing vents disrupts the carefully designed airflow balance, causing your system to work harder and potentially leading to equipment damage.
