Debunking Common HVAC Myths

There are plenty of misconceptions about HVAC systems that can lead to inefficiency and higher costs. Let’s separate fact from fiction:

1. Myth: Cranking the Thermostat Heats or Cools FasterFact: Setting the thermostat higher or lower doesn’t speed up the process. Your system works at the same rate regardless of the temperature setting.

   
   

2. Myth: You Only Need to Change Filters Once a YearFact: Filters should be replaced every 1-3 months, depending on usage and air quality, to keep your system running efficiently.

   
   

3. Myth: Closing Vents in Unused Rooms Saves EnergyFact: Closing vents can disrupt airflow and strain your system, potentially causing damage over time.

   
   

4. Myth: Maintenance Isn’t Necessary for New SystemsFact: Even new systems require regular maintenance to ensure peak performance and to keep warranties valid.

   
   

5. Myth: Bigger Systems Are Always BetterFact: An oversized system can lead to inefficiency, frequent cycling, and uneven temperatures. Proper sizing is key.
