Bigger is Better
When it comes to HVAC, the size of the unit relative to the amount of area trying to be covered is important to consider. While it may seem like the most powerful system will have the greatest results, utilizing the most powerful settings when it isn’t required may increase the need for repairs and shorten the longevity of the system. You may end up paying more for a bigger more powerful system that the space doesn’t even require. The best way to determine which system is the best fit is to ask an expert to give you their opinion or to find a system that is commonly selected by people with a similar layout. The biggest thing to remember is that there are always more ways to improve the performance of HVAC systems if they end up not being enough.
No maintenance required
HVAC maintenance is important. Having several repairs and maintenance days can ensure HVAC systems are running smoothly. Imagine all of the dust, air impurities, and germs circulating in the air! According o the US Environmental Protection Agency, there are various harmful biological sources within indoor air which can cause sneezing, watery eyes, coughing, dizziness, and digestive problems. When regularly maintaining HVAC systems, this reduces the Spread of Germs, Bacteria and Allergens.
Filters can be neglected
Just as many people forget to clean the lint out of their dryers, many people also forget that HVAC filters must be changed regularly. Depending on the type of filter, the type of system, and frequent usage, the lifespan of a filter can be anywhere from 1-3 months. Another thing to remember is that the type of filter chosen can impact the performance of the HVAC System. A filter that is more dense may catch more dirt and debris, but it may also impair the system’s ability to circulate the air. Therefore, a technician can be consulted to recommend the best filter for each client.
HVAC quickly improves air circulation
There are several steps a person can take if they want the HVAC Systems to become more efficient to improve air flow. For example, vents downstairs should almost be closed to increase air flow upstairs and vice versa for the winter. This method also works well if all vents are exposed and are not being covered by furniture or other objects. Commercial HVAC maintenance on the systems will also ensure optimal performance and even save energy usage because the system won’t have to work so hard to produce better results. Finally, getting a ceiling fan will reduce the need for air conditioning, especially during the summer, which will help save energy and allow the HVAC Systems to last longer.
Duct Tape will fix anything
When we think of Duck Tape, we think of convenience and saving costs. However, in terms of HVAC, sadly the magical duct tape will only put a bandaid on the problem itself. Duct tape is not designed to withstand a ride range of temperatures that flow through different HVAC systems. Leaks in the ducts can allow conditioned air to escape, making your HVAC system work harder to maintain the desired temperature in your home. This can lead to higher energy bills.
