HVAC Myths vs. Facts

1. "Ceiling fans help cool the room."

Myth:Fans don’t lower the room temperature — they just make you feel cooler by moving air.



Truth:Use fans with your AC to feel cooler at a higher temp, then turn them off when you leave the room.

2. "You only need maintenance when something breaks."

Myth:Waiting for issues costs more in repairs and can shorten your system’s lifespan.


Truth:Preventive maintenance keeps your HVAC running efficiently and avoids surprises.

3. "All HVAC filters are the same."

Myth: Cheap filters may miss allergens, while the wrong type can strain your system.


Truth: Preventive maintenance keeps your HVAC running efficiently and avoids surprises.

4. "It’s okay to cover your outdoor unit in summer."

Myth: Covering the condenser in hot weather blocks airflow and overheats your system.


Truth: Keep it clear of debris, but never block ventilation.

5. "New HVAC systems don’t need service."
