Let’s Clear the Air About AC Misconceptions
As your trusted HVAC professionals at Farley & Hysaw Heating & Air Conditioning Co., we often hear various myths about air conditioning that can lead to higher energy bills and reduced comfort. Today, we’re going to debunk one of the most costly misconceptions.
The Big Myth: Cranking Down Your Thermostat Cools Your Home Faster
Many homeowners believe that setting their thermostat to an extremely low temperature will cool their space more quickly. This is completely false and can actually waste energy and money.
Here’s the truth:
• Your AC system cools at the same rate regardless of how low you set the temperature
• Setting the temperature lower only makes your system run longer
• This practice puts unnecessary strain on your equipment
• It results in higher energy bills with no added benefit
What You Should Do Instead
The most efficient approach is to:
1. Set your thermostat to your desired temperature
2. Keep a consistent temperature throughout the day
3. Use a programmable thermostat for optimal efficiency
4. Schedule regular maintenance to ensure proper operation
