Many homeowners hold beliefs about their air conditioning units that can lead to inefficiency and increased costs. We’re going to debunk some of the most common AC myths to help you make better decisions about your home’s cooling system.

Bigger ACs Cool You House More

Oversized units can hurt your home comfort and HVAC unit. A larger unit creates quick bursts of cold air. This causes the system to turn off prematurely. A cycle of abrupt starts and stops can wear out your system faster, reducing its efficiency and lifespan.

Turning Off Your Air Conditioner When You Leave The House Saves Money

While it might seem like turning off the AC when you leave would save money, it can actually be more costly. If the temperature outside your home gets significantly warmer during the day, your AC unit has to recover that temperature.It’s more cost-effective to set a slightly higher temperature when you’re away. Additionally, keeping the AC on can help maintain air quality by preventing humidity issues.

My House Is Clean Enough To Not Replace My Filters

AC filters should be replaced according to the instructions. An AC filter in a clean house still accumulates dust and other particulates. Your unit will run more efficiently, costing you less money, if you regularly change your filter. This will also help to upkeep the air quality of your home.

Turning Your AC To A Lower Temperature Cools Your House Faster

Most AC units operate at a constant airflow speed. Lowering the thermostat doesn’t cool your house faster; it just makes your unit run longer until the set temperature is reached.

Air Conditioner Maintenance Is A Waste Of Money

AC maintenance might seem like an unnecessary expense, but it’s essential for the long-term health of your system. Regular, low-cost maintenance can extend your unit’s lifespan and prevent expensive repairs.Just like regular oil changes for your car, consistent AC maintenance is crucial for efficient operation.

Closing Vents In Unused Rooms Saves Energy

Closing vents in a room, rather than saving energy for your home, may cause issues with your unit. When you close a vent in your home, it can throw off the balance of your system or change the air distribution of your AC system.By understanding and debunking these myths, you can ensure your air conditioning system operates efficiently and effectively, keeping your home comfortable while saving you money in the long run.
