The HVAC industry is teeming with misconceptions that can skew customer expectations and understanding. Here, at HART HVAC, we believe that knowledge is power. Thus, we’ll debunk some common myths surrounding HVAC repair, maintenance, and installation, and empower you with accurate information.
Myth 1: More Frequent Filter Changes Aren’t Necessary
The first myth we’d like to debunk is the notion that changing your HVAC filters frequently isn’t necessary. This belief could reduce your system’s efficiency significantly and increase your energy bills. Experts suggest that you should check your filters every month and change them every 90 days, or sooner if they’re dirty. By maintaining clean filters, you’re not just promoting cleaner air but also improving the performance of the HVAC system.
Myth 2: Bigger HVAC Units are Always Better
The second myth to dispel is that a larger HVAC unit always equates to better performance. Contrary to common belief, an oversized HVAC system won’t necessarily heat or cool your property more effectively. In fact, these systems tend to cycle on and off frequently, causing you discomfort and increasing your power bills. On the flip side, an undersized system will struggle to reach the desired temperature, leading to unnecessary strain and an increased likelihood of breakdowns. Hence, selecting the correct size is critical for a smooth-functioning HVAC system.
Myth 3: HVAC Systems Don’t Need Regular Maintenance
The third myth we’ll debunk is that HVAC systems do not require regular maintenance. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Routine maintenance not only improves the lifespan of your HVAC unit, but also its efficiency, and can save you significant money on costly repairs or replacements in the long run.
