Regular HVAC maintenance by a professional service is necessary to prevent untimely breakdowns of the system. However, certain myths about HVAC services have led homeowners to believe otherwise.
Here are some HVAC myths debunked:
Myth #1: The bigger the HVAC system, the better it is
An HVAC system must complement the size of your home. Having one that’s too big will only be inefficient and wastes energy. Bigger systems are also more expensive in terms of the initial outlay and the energy costs involved. Another issue that arises with bigger HVAC systems is that it isn’t able to remove humidity from your home. Have our technicians visit your home to help you figure out the best system for your home.
Myth #2: HVAC maintenance isn’t necessary until there’s a breakdown
Have you heard the phrase “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it?” Some people believe the same about their HVAC system. They don’t feel the need to get regular annual and biannual services for their systems. They only call up a service when the system is malfunctioning or there’s a breakdown.
In reality, however, regular maintenance helps prevent major breakdowns. Such breakdowns are also more time-consuming and expensive to fix. With regular maintenance, such problems are detected in its early stages and fixed.
Myth #3: Air leaks can easily be spotted in a home
Homeowners tend to think they can spot air leaks around their homes and fix it with a bit of caulk. Air leaks aren’t that easy to detect; even the biggest leak in a home is hard to locate accurately. An experienced HVAC technician will be able to test and locate such leaks in your home and fix them for you. They seal in the leaks to ensure no energy is wasted and your system is as efficient as possible. Leak detection is part of the regular maintenance services offered by Florida Breeze.
Myth #4: Turn up the thermostat to heat or cool your home
Thermostats control the temperature of your HVAC system, but your home won’t reach the said temperature if the system is not working optimally. If your HVAC requires maintenance, the filters are clogged, leaks have developed, or if your home’s insulation isn’t up to the mark, your home won’t heat or cool to the required level. In fact, the system works in overdrive to blow out cool or hot air, which increases your energy bills.
