Dispelling Common HVAC Misconceptions

At Service Now! Heating and Air Conditioning, we understand the importance of providing accurate information to our valued customers. In this blog post, we aim to debunk one of the most persistent myths surrounding HVAC systems.

Myth: Closing Air Vents Saves Energy

Many homeowners believe that closing air vents in unused rooms can help conserve energy and reduce utility bills. However, this is a widespread misconception. Here’s the truth:

  • Your HVAC system is designed to distribute air evenly throughout your home, maintaining a balanced airflow.
  • Closing vents can disrupt this balance, causing your system to work harder and potentially leading to higher energy costs.
  • Closed vents also create pressure imbalances, which can lead to duct leaks and reduced indoor air quality.

The Better Solution

Instead of closing vents, we recommend utilizing a zoning system or programmable thermostats to control the temperature in different areas of your home more efficiently. This approach allows you to:

  1. Set customized temperature levels for individual zones or rooms.
  2. Reduce energy consumption by only heating or cooling occupied areas.
  3. Maintain proper airflow and prevent potential damage to your HVAC system.
