When it comes to air conditioning systems, there are several persistent myths that need to be addressed. At B&B Heating & Air Conditioning, we believe in providing our customers with accurate information to help them make informed decisions. In this blog post, we’ll debunk some of the most common myths surrounding air conditioners.

Myth #1: Bigger is Always Better

One widespread misconception is that larger air conditioning units are inherently better. However, this is not necessarily true. An oversized unit may cool your space quickly, but it will also cycle on and off more frequently, leading to increased energy consumption and potential moisture problems. A properly sized unit, tailored to your home’s specific needs, will operate more efficiently and effectively.

Myth #2: Air Conditioners Don’t Need Regular Maintenance

Many homeowners believe that once an air conditioning system is installed, it can be left alone without any maintenance. This myth couldn’t be further from the truth. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning or replacing air filters, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting components, is crucial for ensuring optimal performance, energy efficiency, and longevity of your air conditioning system.

Myth #3: Closing Vents in Unused Rooms Saves Energy

This myth is widely believed, but it’s actually counterproductive. When you close vents in certain rooms, it increases the air pressure in the ductwork, making the system work harder and consume more energy. Instead, it’s recommended to keep all vents open and adjust the thermostat to a comfortable temperature for the entire living space.
