Myth: Closing Vents Saves Energy

Many homeowners believe that closing vents in unused rooms saves energy. However, this myth is false. When you close vents, it increases the pressure in your ductwork, making your HVAC system work harder to distribute air throughout the house. This excess strain can lead to higher energy bills and premature wear on your system.

Myth: Bigger is Better for HVAC Units

1. Bigger HVAC units are not necessarily better.
2. An oversized unit will cycle on and off more frequently, leading to uneven temperatures and wasted energy.
3. Proper sizing is crucial for efficient operation and optimal comfort.

Myth: HVAC Maintenance is Unnecessary
