Common HVAC errors like wrong sizing and blocked vents increase energy bills and reduce comfort, but fixes such as twice-yearly maintenance can improve efficiency, experts say.
- Homeowners often overlook five common HVAC mistakes, and simple fixes can save money, reduce energy use, and keep HVAC systems running smoothly.
- Installing an incorrectly sized unit can cause poor cooling or nonstop running, while blocking supply and return vents restricts airflow and forces systems to work harder.
- Resealing gaps around windows and doors stops outside air, while scheduling maintenance at least two times a year lets certified technicians perform regular tune-ups to lower bills.
- Neglecting seasonal checkups with dirty filters, worn belts or failing parts forces systems to use more power, while licensed contractors ensure proper thermostat wiring and pairing to avoid damage.
- Homeowners considering upgrades can leverage federal tax credits through 2025 for high-efficiency equipment and should consult a Rheem Pro Partner for proper sizing.
