Debunking Common HVAC Misconceptions
At Anderson Bros, we’re committed to providing top-quality heating and cooling services while also educating our customers about their HVAC systems. Today, we’re tackling a persistent myth in the world of home comfort: the belief that bigger HVAC units always lead to better performance.
The Myth: Bigger is Always Better
Many homeowners assume that purchasing the largest possible HVAC unit will result in:
- Faster cooling or heating
- More efficient temperature control
- Better overall performance
The Truth: Size Matters, But Bigger Isn’t Always Better
In reality, an oversized HVAC system can lead to several issues:
1. Short Cycling
Oversized units cool or heat spaces too quickly, leading to frequent on-off cycles. This results in:
- Increased wear and tear on the system
- Higher energy bills
- Reduced comfort due to temperature fluctuations
2. Inadequate Dehumidification
In cooling mode, oversized air conditioners don’t run long enough to properly remove humidity from the air, leaving your home feeling clammy and uncomfortable.
3. Uneven Temperature Distribution
Rapid cooling or heating can create cold or hot spots throughout your home, leading to discomfort in certain areas.
