Sunshine Air Conditioning is dedicated to providing top-notch services and reliable information to our customers. In this blog, we’ll address some common myths surrounding air conditioning systems and set the record straight.
Myth 1: Bigger is Always Better
Many homeowners believe that installing a larger air conditioning unit will keep their home cooler and more comfortable. However, this is a misconception. An oversized unit will:
- Cycle on and off frequently, leading to inefficient operation
- Fail to remove humidity properly
- Increase energy costs
A properly sized unit, determined by a professional HVAC technician, will provide optimal cooling and efficiency for your home.
Myth 2: Closing Vents in Unused Rooms Saves Energy
Closing vents in unused rooms may seem like a logical way to save energy, but it can actually do more harm than good. When vents are closed, it increases the air pressure in the ductwork, causing your system to work harder and potentially leading to leaks or damage.
Myth 3: Air Conditioning Units Don’t Need Regular Maintenance
Just like any other mechanical system, air conditioning units require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Neglecting maintenance can lead to:
- Reduced efficiency
- Higher energy bills
- Premature component failure
At Sunshine Air Conditioning, we recommend scheduling annual tune-ups to keep your system running smoothly and efficiently.
By debunking these common myths, we hope to provide our customers with accurate information and help them make informed decisions about their heating and cooling needs.
