Introduction

• There are many things you have to know as far as
  operating your cooling and heating system is
  concerned.
• There are also plenty piece of advice you can
  find out there, to the point that it can become
  quite daunting to differentiate truth from the
  myths.
• Below are some of the five common heating and air
  conditioning misconceptions that you probably
  assumed to be true in the past, but are in fact
  false.

Air Handlers And Electric Furnaces Are Just The
Same

• Since air handlers look like furnaces and are
  located in the same spot, they are usually
  misidentified as electric furnaces.
• While it is true that many air handlers contain
  an electric backup heating, these are actually
  different from the electric furnace heating.

Air Conditioners Are The Ideal Choice For People
In The North

• It is specifically true when you live further up
  North.
• Heat pumps might not be deemed as the most
  economical heating option for homeowners who
  usually experience temperatures south of
  freezing, yet an electric heat transfer during
  fall and spring seasons could be beneficial,
  which depends on your areas utility prices.
• Thus, before defaulting on an air conditioner,
  see to it that you discuss all your choices with
  your cooling and heating contractor.

You Can Effectively Control Temperature When You
Close Your Doors

• All air conditioning and heating systems are
  sized to cool and heat a specific square feet of
  area.
• Once you close your doors, your air conditioning
  and heating system will still be programmed to
  render a specific amount of air in your house.
• After some time, it could affect the performance
  of the HVAC system and overall home comfort.
• If you like temperature control specific for each
  room, the best option youve got is a zoning
  system.

It Is Always A Great Idea To Turn Off The System
When Not In Use

• When you turn on and off the system, this only
  consumes more energy.
• It would be a better idea to invest your money in
  a unit that modulates or has the capacity to run
  much longer at lesser intervals.
• Through this, your unit wouldnt be going through
  a lot of energy-guzzling cycles of on and off.
• Much better is if you can invest in programmable
  thermostat which runs according to your schedule.
  
• It lets you enjoy prime comfort levels just when
  you need it the most.

Warmer Thermostat Temperature Can Heat Your Home
Faster

• A warmer temperature setting is just going to
  give you higher utility bill.
• Once again, your HVAC unit is meant to provide a
  particular air amount to your house at any
  specific amount of time.
• A higher temperature setting will make your
  equipment run longer, thus, driving up your
  utility costs.
• If you have further questions about your system,
  make sure you talk to a reliable air conditioning
  service provider that can explain you the best
  practices for using your heating and cooling unit.
