When it comes to keeping your home comfortable, there’s no shortage of myths and misconceptions surrounding HVAC systems. At HART HVAC, we believe in empowering our customers with knowledge, which is why we’ve decided to debunk some common HVAC myths.

Myth #1: Bigger is Always Better

Many homeowners believe that investing in the largest HVAC system available will guarantee optimal performance. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. An oversized system will cycle on and off frequently, leading to:

• Uneven temperatures
• Increased energy consumption
• Premature wear and tear

The key is to have a professional HVAC technician perform a load calculation to determine the right sized system for your home.

Myth #2: Maintenance is Unnecessary

Some homeowners believe that as long as their HVAC system is running, there’s no need for regular maintenance. Unfortunately, this mindset can lead to costly breakdowns and decreased efficiency. Regular maintenance from HART HVAC professionals can:

• Extend the lifespan of your system
• Improve energy efficiency
• Identify and address potential issues early

Myth #3: Closing Vents Saves Energy

It’s a common belief that closing vents in unused rooms can save energy and money. However, this practice can actually increase energy consumption and strain your HVAC system. When vents are closed, it creates an imbalance in the system, forcing it to work harder and potentially leading to premature failure.

At HART HVAC, we prioritize quality installations and reliable repairs to ensure your HVAC system operates at peak efficiency. By debunking these myths, we hope to empower our customers to make informed decisions about their home comfort needs.
