The Truth About HVAC Maintenance Saving You Money

Debunking a Common HVAC Myth

Since 1949, Perry Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing has been the leading HVAC and plumbing company for Tucson, AZ and surrounding communities. Over these decades of service, we’ve encountered numerous myths about HVAC maintenance, but one particularly persistent misconception needs addressing.

Many homeowners believe that closing vents in unused rooms will save money on energy costs. This common belief actually does more harm than good.

Here’s why this myth is false:

• Closing vents increases pressure in your ductwork
• The added strain can damage your HVAC system
• Your system continues using the same amount of energy
• Restricted airflow can lead to frozen coils

Your HVAC system is designed to heat and cool a specific square footage. When you close vents, you’re not reducing the system’s output; you’re simply creating an imbalance in your home’s air distribution. This can lead to increased energy costs and potential system damage.

The truth is, proper maintenance and regular professional inspections are the most effective ways to reduce energy costs. At Perry Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing, we’ve spent over 70 years helping Tucson residents maintain efficient, properly functioning HVAC systems.
