It’s hard to keep track of what’s the truth and what is a myth. In this article, we’ll dive into five major myths about HVAC services, so you can choose the best HVAC system for your home and keep it working efficiently. SERENETHOS / SHUTTERSTOCK HVAC service myths and facts Myth: You only need to change your filter once a year. Fact: Many people believe this to be true, or, they simply forget to change their filter except once a year. This is not only a myth, but also a big mistake! While you’re using your HVAC system, you’ll want to CHANGE YOUR FILTER every 30 days. If you have a lot of pets, and therefore a lot of dander and fur around the house, you may want to consider changing your filter even more regularly. This will keep your system much more efficient. Myth: The biggest HVAC system is always the best. Fact: No, bigger is not always better when it comes to an HVAC system. In fact, if your system is too large for your home, it can be much less efficient. It will also struggle to properly REMOVE HUMIDITY.It’s important to have a professional help determine the right size HVAC unit for your home. Myth: Your HVAC system doesn’t need maintenance unless it’s broken. Fact: When it comes to your car, you don’t want to wait until it’s broken down on the side of the road before you see the mechanic. You go to the mechanic for regular checkups. The same goes for your HVAC system. It’s crucial to have regular maintenance on your HVAC system to ensure that your system is working properly and to prevent any large and expensive problems before they happen. By having it regularly checked and well maintained by an HVAC service technician, you’ll save major and costly headaches down the road. Myth: You can easily find air leaks around your home. Fact: It seems like it’d be simple to spot an air leak around your home, but even the biggest leaks can be hard to find. An HVAC service technician can help find and properly seal leaks that waste energy and make your system inefficient. When you hire an HVAC service technician for regular maintenance of your system, you can also have them check for leaks. This will ensure your system is running properly and efficiently. Myth: The best way to heat or cool your home is to turn up the thermostat. Fact: While the thermostat controls the temperature setting, your home may actually never reach that temperature if your HVAC system is not working the way it should. If your HVAC system needs maintenance, if your home needs new insulation or there are serious leaks, the system will have a very difficult time heating and cooling your home. Although you’ve set your thermostat to one temperature, it may never get to that setting. To ensure that your home’s HVAC system is able to heat and cool efficiently, schedule regular maintenance with an HVAC service professional and have them check for serious leaks.
