When it comes to home heating, there’s a lot of misinformation floating around. At NexAir Home Services, a family-owned, veteran-owned business operating in the Tri-State area, we’re here to debunk some prevalent myths and provide you with correct, accurate information.

Myth: Bigger Furnace Means Better Heat

One common misconception people have is that the bigger the furnace, the better it will heat their home. In reality, a furnace that’s too large for your house can lead to uneven heating, frequent cycling, and increased energy costs, stressing your system more than necessary. Proper furnace sizing is vital for efficient and comfortable home heating.

Myth: Furnace Replacement is Only Needed When It Fails

Another myth that we regularly encounter is about furnace replacement. Many homeowners believe they need to wait until their furnace fails before considering a replacement. This is far from the truth. An old, inefficient furnace can lead to skyrocketing energy bills and frequent repairs. Therefore, an early replacement is advisable.

Myth: Setting the Thermostat Higher Heats the House Faster

It’s not uncommon for homeowners to crank up their thermostats to heat their homes quickly. However, this doesn’t necessarily heat the house faster. All this does is make your furnace work harder, leading to escalated energy bills and increased wear and tear.
