In the world of air conditioning service, myths and misconceptions can lead to costly mistakes and inefficient operation. At Kelley Brothers, we’re committed to providing accurate information to our customers. Let’s debunk some prevalent myths surrounding HVAC systems.
Myth #1: Bigger is Always Better
Many homeowners believe that a larger HVAC system will provide better cooling and heating performance. However, this is a misconception. An oversized system will cycle on and off more frequently, leading to inconsistent temperatures and higher energy costs. A properly sized unit, tailored to your home’s specific needs, will operate more efficiently and provide optimal comfort.
Myth #2: Closing Vents Saves Energy
While it may seem logical to close vents in unused rooms to save energy, this practice can actually put strain on your HVAC system. Closed vents increase pressure within the ductwork, forcing the system to work harder and potentially causing damage. It’s better to keep vents open and adjust the thermostat to your desired temperature.
Myth #3: HVAC Maintenance is Unnecessary
- Neglecting regular maintenance can lead to a host of problems, including:
- Reduced efficiency and higher energy bills
- Increased risk of breakdowns and premature system failure
- Poor indoor air quality
Regular professional maintenance can help identify and address issues early, prolonging the lifespan of your HVAC system and ensuring optimal performance.
