Separating HVAC Fact from Fiction
At Turner & Schoel, we’ve heard countless air conditioning myths over our years of service. Today, we’re setting the record straight on some common misconceptions that could be impacting your comfort and wallet.
Myth #1: Bigger AC Units Are Always Better
One of the most persistent myths we encounter is that a larger AC unit will automatically provide better cooling. In reality, an oversized system can actually lead to:
• Higher energy bills
• Inconsistent temperatures
• Excessive humidity
• Shorter equipment lifespan
Myth #2: Closing Vents in Unused Rooms Saves Money
Many homeowners believe closing vents in empty rooms will reduce energy costs. This practice actually:
• Creates pressure imbalances
• Forces your system to work harder
• May damage your ductwork
• Increases energy consumption
Myth #3: AC Maintenance Isn’t Necessary Unless Something Breaks
Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance. Waiting until something breaks can result in:
• Higher repair costs
• Reduced efficiency
• Shortened system lifespan
• Emergency breakdowns during peak seasons

The key to maximum efficiency isn’t about quick fixes or shortcuts. It’s about proper sizing, regular maintenance, and professional installation. Turner & Schoel focuses on providing accurate information and reliable service to ensure your HVAC system operates at peak performance year-round.
