When it comes to your home’s heating system, there are plenty of myths and misconceptions floating around. At Lansing Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc., we’re committed to debunking these myths and providing our customers with accurate information. Here are some of the most common myths we’ve encountered:

Myth #1: Furnace Repair is Always Cheaper Than Replacement

While it’s true that furnace repair can be less expensive upfront, it’s not always the most cost-effective solution in the long run. If your furnace is old, inefficient, or requires frequent repairs, it may be more economical to replace it with a new, energy-efficient model.

Myth #2: Closing Vents in Unused Rooms Saves Energy

This is a common misconception that can actually cause more harm than good. Closing vents can create an imbalance in your heating system, causing it to work harder and potentially leading to premature failure.

Myth #3: Bigger is Always Better When It Comes to Furnaces

While it may seem logical to assume that a larger furnace will heat your home more effectively, the truth is that an oversized furnace can actually waste energy and fail to heat your home evenly. The key is to have a properly sized furnace that matches the specific needs of your home.

Myth #4: Furnace Maintenance is Unnecessary

Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping your furnace running efficiently and prolonging its lifespan. During a maintenance visit, our technicians will clean and inspect your furnace, ensuring that any potential issues are caught and addressed early on.
