Oh the internet—where you can find information on literally everything there is to know. But, that doesn’t always mean the information you’ll find is true. And it can create some pretty big problems when you’re faced with, and believe, false information. For instance, you can type in a question about any important appliance in your home, and receive a bunch of helpful “tips” and “hacks.” This is one of the reasons that misconceptions about HVAC systems have spread widely to homeowners.
Most of the misconceptions about HVAC systems have been around long before the widespread availability of the internet, but they’ve become more prevalent today. What’s dangerous about them is that they can actually lead you to paying more for your HVAC systems month-to-month, instead of actually saving you time and money. Keep reading as we bust a few of the most common myths there are.
Considering how hot and muggy it’s been in recent weeks, it may seem silly to complain about an air conditioner that won’t turn off. However, this is actually a much bigger problem than you may realize, as it means that your air conditioner isn’t working efficiently, and will cause your cooling bills to skyrocket.
With weather already heating up in our part of the country, it goes without saying that we’ll be relying on our air conditioners a good deal very soon, if you aren’t already using yours on a daily basis. With HVAC use accounting for about half of all energy costs, it’s no surprise that you want to find ways to stay comfortable without breaking the bank.
With temperatures still on the mild side, now is the perfect time to assess how well your air conditioner is working and whether or not it’s ready for the warmer weather ahead. If you do indeed decide it’s time for a replacement, now is a great time to look at your various options and consider if you want to upgrade your current system or switch to a different type of air conditioner.
