5 Common AC Myths - Busted!
Many homeowners believe things about their AC that just aren’t true - and those myths can cost you money and comfort. Let’s clear things up!
“Bigger units cool better.”
Actually, oversized ACs short cycle, wasting energy and wearing out faster. Proper sizing is key for efficient cooling.
“Change filters only when they look dirty.”
Your AC’s airflow drops long before you see dirt. Changing filters every month keeps your system healthy and efficient.
“Turning the thermostat way down cools the home faster.”
Your AC runs at a fixed speed no matter the setting, so setting it lower just makes it run longer.
“Closing vents in unused rooms saves energy.”
Closing vents disrupts airflow, creating pressure problems that strain your system.
“If it’s working, skip maintenance.” Routine maintenance catches issues early and extends your system’s life, saving you from costly repairs.
