There is a lot to know about the furnace in your home, but it can feel overwhelming and impossible to remember it all. You occasionally receive tips about your furnace, but you’re not sure how true they are because it is not directly from an HVAC expert. Below, our experts at Blue Ash Furnace & Air Conditioning call into question a few myths about your home’s furnace and set the record straight on what you should be doing.
Myth #1: If My Equipment Is Not Broken, It Does NOT Need Repairing or Maintained
You’re missing out on a lot of efficiency and comfort if you’re not regularly maintaining your furnace. The outside of your furnace may appear to be working fine, but the inside requires yearly cleanings and inspections. Neglected maintenance can lead to many issues or even a complete breakdown of your furnace, so make sure to call our HVAC experts at Blue Ash Furnace & Air Conditioning to service your equipment.
Myth #2: It Doesn’t Matter Where You Place Your Thermostat
Most folks would be surprised with how important the placement of your thermostat can be. Thermostats are sensitive, so if placed near a window or in direct sunlight, it could cause your thermostat to drop or spike temperatures. Setting your thermostat in a room not near a window and away from sunlight will help your thermostat read the actual temperature in your home and keep your preferred or set temperature consistent.
Myth #3: It’s My Technician’s Job To Understand My HVAC Equipment, NOT Mine
Although it is your HVAC technician’s responsibility to know about your furnace, it helps if you understand as well. When your furnace is on the verge of any issues or a breakdown, you will be more likely to figure out what may be causing the problem. Communicating with your HVAC technician is easier the more educated you are on your HVAC equipment. So, don’t be afraid to ask your HVAC technician questions. We are more than happy to educate you on your heating equipment.
