There are many myths about HVAC systems and how they work. These systems can keep your business or home comfortable at all times of the year. We are here to clear the air around HVAC systems. In this blog, we will dispel some myths regarding the heating and cooling options.
Bigger Is Better
If all else fails put in the largest HVAC system you can afford. This is not true. When it comes HVAC systems that are too large for the space they heat and cool, there is a point where there are diminishing returns. A system that is too large for your space can cause inefficiency and lead to higher heating and cooling costs. To find the perfect size system for your home, or business, it is important to work with a professional.
Forget the Maintenance
An HVAC technician should not only be checking on your system for repairs. You may not need to have your system repaired if you maintain it properly. Your HVAC system needs to be maintained like any other complex electrical system. Fall and spring maintenance permit licensed technicians to identify failing parts and replace them so that the HVAC system is in tip-top shape.
It’s All About the Thermostat
Many homeowners think that their thermostat is set to a certain temperature. However, there are many other factors that can affect the indoor temperature. Leaks can indicate that cold or hot air is entering the home and changing the temperature. Humidity levels can make a big difference. You need to know that although your thermostat will regulate the HVAC system to maintain a certain temperature indoors, temperatures can still vary.
Who Needs a Filter?
The biggest myth about HVAC systems is the belief that filters don’t matter. The truth is that your HVAC system’s filter is the last line of defense against dust, dander, and other debris. The filter can trap dirt and dust, which can cause costly repairs. Depending on which type of filter you choose, your filter should be changed every 30 to 90 calendar days to avoid any problems.
