This article provided by Climatech Heating and Cooling is going to “bust” four HVAC myths that you may have heard or even believed! Myth #1 – Turning off your A/C while you’re out all day saves money and energy.
Wrong! It does the opposite. It’ll take longer to cool down your house, use more energy and cost more money than it would if you left it on all day. • Myth #2 – Air filters need to be replaced annually. Uh, no. You need to replace your filter at least every 90 days. If you have one pet, then change it every 60 days. If you have two or more pets, every 20-45 days is recommended. • Myth #3 – A bigger unit is better. No, it’s not. An oversized unit will cause problems by tricking thermostats into shutting off before your home is cooled effectively. A properly sized system will prevent this. • Myth #4 – Maintenance Plans aren’t necessary. You maintain your car, don’t you? You should do the same with your HVAC system. Regular maintenance will keep minor problems from becoming big expensive ones. Give Climatech a call! I've used them for years on my own home! 704-483-7343 |
