When it comes to your home’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, there are many myths and misconceptions that can lead to unnecessary expenses or even damage. At Bradley Heating & Air Conditioning, we’re dedicated to providing reliable information and top-notch services to homeowners in Royal Palm Beach, Wellington, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Loxahatchee, Greenacres, and Lake Worth, FL.
Myth 1: Closing Vents Saves Energy
A common belief is that closing vents in unused rooms can save energy by redirecting airflow to other areas. However, this is a myth. HVAC systems are designed to operate with a balanced airflow, and closing vents can actually increase energy consumption and strain the system.
Myth 2: Bigger is Better for HVAC Units
- Oversized HVAC units can lead to inefficient cooling or heating cycles, resulting in higher energy bills.
- Properly sized units can maintain consistent temperatures and improved indoor air quality.
- Our skilled team at Bradley Heating & Air Conditioning can accurately assess your home’s needs and recommend the right-sized unit.
Myth 3: Frequent Filter Changes Aren’t Necessary
Neglecting to change your HVAC system’s air filters can have detrimental effects on indoor air quality and system performance. Clogged filters restrict airflow, causing your unit to work harder and potentially leading to breakdowns. We recommend changing filters every 1-3 months for optimal efficiency and indoor air quality.
