Served by a plethora of misconceptions and myths, the field of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) confounds many homeowners. Some of these misconceptions could lead homeowners to make poor decisions regarding their HVAC systems. At Cheshire Heating & Air, our aim is to dispel these widespread myths.
Myth 1: You Only Need to Change Your Filter Once a Year
This is one of the most prevailing HVAC service myths. While it’s true that your filter will still function after a year, it won’t be working efficiently. Dust, pollen, and other airborne particles accumulate over time, impeding airflow and forcing your system to work harder, leading to higher energy costs and potential air quality issues. At Cheshire Heating & Air, we recommend replacing your filter every 30 to 90 days, depending on factors such as filter type, number of pets, and household size.
Myth 2: The Bigger the HVAC System, the Better
A common misconception is that the larger the HVAC system, the more effective it will be in cooling or heating a home. However, this isn’t necessarily true. An HVAC system that’s too large for your home can lead to frequent on and off cycles, wasting energy and causing significant wear and tear. On the other hand, an undersized HVAC will struggle to reach your desired temperature. Our skilled professionals at Cheshire Heating & Air can calculate your home’s heating and cooling load to determine the optimal HVAC system size.
Myth 3: All HVAC Service Companies Are the Same
Many homeowners may believe that all HVAC service companies offer the same quality of service. This is certainly not the case. At Cheshire Heating & Air, we take great pride in our experienced technicians and their commitment to providing excellent service. We provide comprehensive training to ensure that every Cheshire employee is equipped with the knowledge and skills to service any HVAC system, ensuring a long lifespan and efficient performance for your system.
UV-C light technology is one of our offerings to enhance your HVAC’s performance and improve indoor air quality. We integrate this technology into your HVAC system to eliminate airborne pathogens and allergens, providing you with clean and healthy air in your home.
Takeaway
By debunking these common myths, we hope to help homeowners make informed decisions regarding their HVAC systems. Remember, when in doubt, it’s best to consult with the professionals. Trust Cheshire Heating & Air with your HVAC maintenance, installation, and repair needs for a healthy, comfortable home all year round.
