At the heart of our homes and offices are heating and air conditioning systems. From the colder nights in Boulder and Longmont to the warmer days in Louisville and Lafayette, our comfort often hangs on the reliability of these systems. Given their importance, various myths have surfaced over the years that can lead to unnecessary costs and disappointment. Let’s debunk some of these myths with insights from Welzig Heating & Air.
Myth 1: All Heating & AC Installations are The Same
Many people believe that the installation of all heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems is a one-size-fits-all process. This couldn’t be further from the truth. A number of variables such as the size of the building, insulation, and other factors determine the type of system required. Therefore, professional HVAC installation is critical to ensure maximum system efficiency and longevity.
Myth 2: Regular Furnace Service is Unnecessary
Another common myth is that your furnace doesn’t need regular maintenance as long as it’s heating your home. This can be a costly assumption. Regular furnace service ensures that your system operates at its peak efficiency, prolongs its lifespan, and catches potential issues before they become severe. An annual servicing schedule is generally a good rule of thumb.
Myth 3: The Bigger the HVAC System, The Better
It may seem logical to think that bigger HVAC systems offer better service. After all, a bigger engine generally means more power, right? Not necessarily. Oversized systems cycle on and off more frequently, reducing efficiency, increasing wear and tear, and leading to uneven heating or cooling. Your HVAC system, including heating installations, should be appropriately sized for your home or office using professional calculation methods.
Now that we’ve debunked some of the common myths, keeping your home comfortable year-round should be a little easier. Remember, professional help is always beneficial and can save you both time and resources in the long run. No matter the weather, Welzig Heating & Air has you covered!
