Introduction
At Gibson Heating & Cooling, we understand that there are numerous myths and misconceptions surrounding HVAC systems. As trusted professionals in the industry, we strive to provide accurate information to our customers. In this blog, we’ll debunk some of the most common myths and set the record straight.
Myth #1: Closing Vents Saves Energy
Many homeowners believe that closing vents in unused rooms can help save energy. However, this is a misconception. HVAC systems are designed to operate with a balanced airflow throughout the entire system. Closing vents can actually disrupt this balance, causing the system to work harder and potentially leading to higher energy bills.
Myth #2: Bigger is Always Better
- Contrary to popular belief, a larger HVAC system doesn’t necessarily mean better performance or energy efficiency.
- An oversized system can lead to frequent cycling, resulting in uneven temperatures and increased energy consumption.
- Proper sizing is crucial for optimal performance and energy savings.
Myth #3: HVAC Maintenance is Unnecessary
Regular maintenance is essential for keeping your HVAC system running efficiently and prolonging its lifespan. Neglecting maintenance can lead to various issues, such as decreased energy efficiency, poor indoor air quality, and premature system failure. At Gibson Heating & Cooling, we recommend scheduling annual tune-ups to ensure your system is operating at its best.
