4 Common Myths About Heating & Cooling Systems

 

With the colder months quickly approaching, there is no better time than now to make sure that your heating and cooling systems are in top condition. Unfortunately, misinformation about HVAC services can lead to confusion and costly mistakes. To help set the record straight, here are some of the most common myths about heating and cooling systems.

 


 

Myth One: You Only Need To Service Your System Once A Year

 

 

 This is far from true. While an annual inspection may be enough to spot some issues, regular maintenance should be performed throughout the year in order to keep your system running efficiently. Some parts may require more frequent servicing depending on usage and environmental conditions.

 


 

Myth Two: Heating and Cooling Systems Don't Need Repairs

 

 

Even when regularly maintained, things can still go wrong with your system. If your unit is not performing as it should, or you notice any strange noises or smells coming from it, then it’s best to seek professional assistance as soon as possible in order to avoid further damage and costly repairs down the line.

 


 

Myth Three: Bigger Is Better

 

 

Installing a larger size unit than what is recommended for a given area could actually work against you. This is because bigger units cool or heat faster but are less efficient over time, leading to higher energy costs. Always consult with a professional who can recommend a size that suits your needs while keeping energy efficiency in mind.

 


 

Myth Four: Professional Service Isn't Required For Maintenance Or Repairs

 

 

 DIY repairs may seem like they save time and money initially, but they could also cause further damage if not done correctly. Always use a qualified technician when carrying out maintenance work or repairs that involve complex mechanical components such as those found in a heating and cooling system.
