Debunking a Common HVAC Myth

At Pelles Heating & Cooling Services, we pride ourselves on providing top-notch HVAC solutions to our customers. However, we often encounter misconceptions about our industry that can lead to confusion and misinformed decisions. Today, we’ll address a prevalent myth and set the record straight.

Myth: Closing vents in unused rooms saves energy

Many homeowners believe that closing vents in rooms they don’t frequently use will reduce energy consumption and lower their utility bills. While this may seem logical, it’s actually a myth that can have the opposite effect.

Here’s why:

• Your HVAC system is designed to distribute air evenly throughout the entire ductwork system.
• When you close vents, the system has to work harder to push air through the remaining open vents, leading to increased energy usage.
• Closed vents can also cause imbalances in the system, potentially leading to premature wear and tear on components.

The Solution

Instead of closing vents, we recommend keeping them open and adjusting your thermostat to accommodate the desired temperature in each room. This allows for proper airflow and ensures your HVAC system operates efficiently.
