Busting HVAC Myths: Stay Cozy No Matter the Weather!

Are you tired of second-guessing your HVAC system with all the myths floating around? Let’s clear the air (pun intended) and set the record straight—especially as we deal with big temperature swings and colder nights!

Myth #1: Bigger is Better
Not when it comes to HVAC systems! An oversized HVAC unit can lead to inefficient cooling, increased energy costs, and uneven temperature distribution throughout your home. It can also cause unnecessary wear and tear on the system due to frequent short cycling (turning on and off rapidly) instead of running at a consistent level to maintain a comfortable temperature

Myth #2: Cranking the Thermostat Works Faster
Whether you're warming up on a chilly morning or cooling down on a warm afternoon, setting your thermostat way higher or lower won’t speed things up. It only makes your system work harder, using more energy and wearing out faster. Patience (and proper settings) are key!

Myth #3: Closing Vents Saves Energy
Think shutting vents in unused rooms will help? Think again! It actually disrupts airflow, causing pressure imbalances that strain your system and reduce efficiency. Keeping vents open ensures your HVAC runs smoothly and keeps every corner of your home comfortable.

As temperatures jump between freezing nights and warmer days, knowing the facts helps you stay cozy without wasting energy. Have HVAC questions? We’ve got answers—just give us a call!
