Welcome to our blog, where we aim to keep you cool with facts and insights. Today, we’re taking on some persistent myths surrounding air conditioning and HVAC systems. Let’s dive in!
Myth #1: Bigger is Always Better
Many homeowners believe that oversizing their HVAC units will provide better cooling and heating. However, this is far from the truth. An oversized system will cycle on and off frequently, leading to temperature fluctuations, poor dehumidification, and higher energy bills.
Myth #2: HVAC Maintenance is Unnecessary
This couldn’t be further from reality. Regular professional maintenance is crucial for:
- Enhancing energy efficiency
- Prolonging the lifespan of your system
- Improving indoor air quality
Myth #3: Closing Vents Saves Energy
Many believe that closing vents in unused rooms will save energy, but this practice can actually put unnecessary strain on your HVAC system. Air needs to circulate freely, and closing vents can lead to unbalanced air pressure, potentially damaging your system.
Myth #4: Air Conditioning Causes Colds
While it’s true that sudden temperature changes can make you more susceptible to colds, air conditioning itself does not cause illness. In fact, modern HVAC systems are designed to maintain healthy humidity levels and improve indoor air quality, reducing the risk of respiratory issues.
