10 HVAC Misconceptions (eBook)

"If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 30+ years in the HVAC industry, it’s this: most people don’t know what they don’t know. It’s not their fault—HVAC systems are complicated. But what you don’t know can cost you, in both comfort and cash.
Let me share a quick story. Years ago, I was working with a homeowner who couldn’t understand why their brand-new, expensive air conditioning system wasn’t keeping their house cool. After just a few questions, it became clear: the system was three sizes too large for their home, short cycling like crazy, and leaving the house clammy and uncomfortable. They’d fallen victim to one of the most common HVAC misconceptions: “Bigger is better.”
That experience stuck with me. It wasn’t just the homeowner’s frustration—it was the realization that so many people, even industry professionals, are operating on outdated or flat-out incorrect information. That’s why I created this guide." - Tom Platania, Owner/Founder ProCalcs LLC
