Demystifying HVAC: Common Myths Debunked by First String Heating

When it comes to HVAC systems, there’s no shortage of information—and misinformation—floating around.

As a Denver-based HVAC authority, First String Heating is here to debunk some common HVAC myths and provide Colorado homeowners with the facts they need to make informed decisions about their heating and cooling systems.

5 HVAC Myths Debunked

Myth 1: Bigger is Always Better

Many homeowners believe that the larger the HVAC system, the more efficient it will be. However, an oversized system can lead to frequent cycling, causing wear and tear and reducing efficiency. It’s crucial to have a system that’s correctly sized for your home, and First String Heating can help you determine the right fit.

Myth 2: You Only Need to Change Your Filter Once a Year

While it would be convenient if this were true, most HVAC filters need to be changed every one to three months. Regular filter changes not only improve your air quality but also enhance your system’s effectiveness and longevity.

Myth 3: Closing Vents in Unused Rooms Saves Energy

Contrary to popular belief, closing vents can actually increase your energy consumption. Your HVAC system is designed to balance its load throughout the entire house. When you close a vent, it throws off this balance and makes your system work harder.

Myth 4: Thermostat Location Doesn’t Affect Heating or Cooling

The location of your thermostat can significantly impact your HVAC system’s performance. If your thermostat is near a window or a heat source, it might read the temperature incorrectly and cause your system to run unnecessarily.

Myth 5: Routine Maintenance Isn’t Necessary

This myth could not be further from the truth. Regular maintenance is crucial to keep your HVAC system running efficiently and prevent costly repairs down the line.

At First String Heating, we’re committed to providing Colorado homeowners with accurate information and top-tier HVAC services.
