Chances are if you are a homeowner in the St. Louis area, you have heard at least one of these home cooling myths before.

However, this is an illusion and the air inside your home is the same temperature whether you have fans on or not. To <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/ceiling-fans-improve-air-conditioner-efficiency\/\">use ceiling fans<\/a> properly for comfort and improved efficiency, fans should only be on in rooms you are currently in. Otherwise, running fans can be a waste of energy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You Should Turn Your AC to the Lowest Setting to Cool Your Home Faster<\/strong> &#8211; This is perhaps the most dangerous of the home cooling myths! The fact is, your AC works by replacing the warm air in your home with cooled air. It can only produce so much air at once. So, bringing the temperature all the way down is not going to cool your home faster. Instead, this is just going to cost you more money, as your air conditioner will have to work extra long to get your home much colder than needed. In addition to wasting energy, this can also cause extra wear and tear on your system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leaving the AC on Saves Money<\/strong> &#8211; Similarly, it is not true that turning your AC on and off as needed costs more than leaving it on throughout the summer. This home cooling myth may have come about when HVAC systems had different start and stop mechanisms that required more energy. But these days, running your AC while you are not using it is just a waste of energy and money.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Home_Cooling_Myths_Telling_Fact_from_Fiction\"><\/span>Home Cooling Myths: Telling Fact from Fiction <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While these home cooling myths are just that, myths, there are other tips and tricks that do work. For example, these common tips and tricks are true:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/best-thermostat-placement-for-your-home\/\">Thermostat placement<\/a> does actually matter! Make sure it is not in an especially hot or cold area and is not exposed to drafts, direct sunlight, or other variables.<\/li>\n<li>Regular AC maintenance visits (at least once a year) can cut down significantly on wear and tear. And in some cases, may be necessary for maintaining your warranty.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, changing your air filter more frequently can save you a lot on energy bills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"We_are_Here_to_Dispel_Home_Cooling_Myths_Call_Us_Today\"><\/span>We are Here to Dispel Home Cooling Myths, Call Us Today<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to understanding and debunking common air conditioner myths, familiarizing yourself with how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/troubleshoot-central-air-conditioner-problems\/\">troubleshoot your central air conditioner<\/a> can help.
