Air Conditioning Myths Debunked

Looking for ways to keep cool this summer while keeping your energy bills down? Summertime is notorious for unbearable heat and humid days, but before you make any changes there are a few air conditioning myths you should be aware about:

Myth: Fans Can Make Your Room Cooler

Fact: Fans won’t actually lower the temperature in the room, but they can make you feel cooler. When air blows over your skin, it can actually lower your body temperature so it’s not a bad idea to turn on the fan when you’re feeling sweaty.

Myth: Bigger Air Conditioners Are Better
Fact: Air conditioners always work the hardest in the summer and if yours isn’t meeting your standards, your first instinct might be to run out to the store to buy a bigger unit. If you purchase a system that’s too large for your home, it won’t cool it down efficiently and can cause your energy bills to skyrocket. It’s vital to consult a professional to find out what size you need.

Myth: Air Conditioners Do Nothing But Cool The Air
Fact: Ever wonder why your home feels much less humid while your air conditioner is running? AC units do much more than just cool the air, they remove humidity from the air and some systems can even provide cleaner air to your entire home.
