When it comes to heating and cooling the home, there are plenty of myths out there that make it hard to know what’s right and what’s wrong. At Dycus Heating & Air, we believe everyone should have the knowledge to manage their home’s climate efficiently and cost-effectively. Let’s expose some common heating and cooling myths to bring you peace of mind and help keep your home comfortable, no matter the weather.
Myth 1: Turning Your Thermostat Down Low Will Cool The House Faster
Some might think that cranking their thermostat down to an icy temperature will cool their home faster. In reality, this just makes your cooling system work overtime and doesn’t necessarily speed up how quickly your home cools. Setting your thermostat at a comfortable temperature and being patient is the best way to cool your home.
Myth 2: Closing Vents in Unused Rooms Will Save Energy
It’s a common misconception that closing vents in rooms you are not using will help save on energy costs. This could actually put more pressure on your system, leading to decreased efficiency and potential system damage. It’s better to leave all vents open to allow for normal airflow.
Myth 3: Bigger HVAC Units are Always Better
A larger HVAC unit might seem like it would be more efficient at heating and cooling your home, but this isn’t necessarily true. If your system is too large for your home, it could prematurely wear out from turning on and off more than a properly sized unit would. Consult with a professional to find the right system for your home.
