Separating AC Myths from Facts

Debunking Common Air Conditioning Myths

When it comes to air conditioning systems, there are numerous myths and misconceptions that can lead homeowners astray. At Aqua Plumbing & Air, we believe in providing accurate information to our customers. Here, we separate fact from fiction:

Myth 1: Bigger is Always Better for AC Units

Many people assume that a larger air conditioning unit automatically means better cooling performance. However, this is not the case. An oversized unit will cycle on and off more frequently, leading to inefficient operation, uneven cooling, and higher energy costs.

Myth 2: Closing Vents in Unused Rooms Saves Energy

• Fact: Closing vents can actually increase energy consumption by forcing your AC to work harder to maintain proper airflow.
• Instead, keep all vents open and use a programmable thermostat to adjust temperatures in different zones or rooms.

Myth 3: Air Conditioners Don’t Need Regular Maintenance

This myth couldn’t be further from the truth. Regular maintenance by a professional HVAC technician is crucial for optimal performance, energy efficiency, and prolonged lifespan of your air conditioning system. Neglecting maintenance can lead to breakdowns, higher utility bills, and even potential safety hazards.
