I think it is safe to say that we all like to save money. However, to be sure you are not wasting your hard earned cash, make sure you don’t fall prey to HVAC myths. Here are a few of the most widely believed untruths about HVAC…
Myth: Turning the temperature way up when you are not home will save on your air conditioning costs.
In reality, it costs more to get a hot house back to the desired temperature. The more consistent you keep the temperature, the better. For example, if you set your temperature at 78 when you leave and turn it down to 74 when returning home, your HVAC system won’t have to work as hard as it would in the instance of a larger temperature disparity.
Myth: A bigger HVAC unit is better.
As I’m sure you can probably guess, an HVAC unit that is too small for your home will not cool and heat your home efficiently, but it may also be costing you money if your HVAC system is too large for your home. An HVAC system that is the proper size for your home or business will be the most effective, both for energy efficiency and cost savings.
Myth: The less an HVAC professional comes to your home, the less it will cost you.
Routine maintenance can save you money, it is wise not to be penny-wise and pound-foolish. Regularly scheduled preventive maintenance visits allow HVAC professionals to pinpoint any issues before they become large, expensive problems. Preventive HVAC maintenance can also help reduce the wear and tear on your system, increasing the longevity of your unit.
