When it comes to HVAC services like Furnace Repair, Air Conditioner Service, and Heater Installation, assumptions and myths are common. However, we at ATS Mechanical are committed to providing clear and accurate information to our customers. Let’s debunk some prevailing myths for a more informed approach to HVAC maintenance and repair.
Myth 1: Routine Maintenance Isn’t Necessary
This common misconception could not be further from the truth. Regardless of the type, every HVAC unit requires regular maintenance to operate at its prime. Regular inspections by professionals like ATS Mechanical can identify potential issues early on, saving money on future costly repairs, and ensuring the longevity of your system.
Myth 2: The Bigger the HVAC System, The Better
Many homeowners believe that a larger HVAC system will cool or heat their home faster and more efficiently. However, it’s essential to install a unit suited to the specific size and design of your home. An oversized system will not only cost more upfront but may lead to inefficient operation and higher energy bills. Your trusted professionals at ATS Mechanical can help determine the perfect size for your home needs.
Myth 3: Closing Vents in Unused Rooms Saves Energy
It may seem logical to close vents in unused rooms to save energy, but HVAC systems are designed for whole-house distribution. By closing vents, your system has to work harder to maintain the set temperature, leading to unnecessary strain and potentially increased energy costs. Instead of closing vents, consider upgrading your system to a zoned system for energy efficiency.
The Bottom Line
Remember, when it comes to HVAC maintenance and repairs, it’s always best to consult with the professionals. Allowing myths to guide your decisions can lead to unnecessary costs and longer-than-needed periods of discomfort in extreme weather conditions. Trust ATS Mechanical for your HVAC needs and let’s keep your home comfortable throughout the year.
