Our forefathers got lucky living in a time when the weather was predictable. Well, the situation right now in Melbourne as well as in other parts of Australia has turned unpredictable. You can glean as much as you want but predicting the weather for the next day becomes difficult. These are times when you must install heating and cooling systems in your homes at all costs.
Now, the fact that these systems benefit the residents in a home is clearly established. However, time and again, you can come across people who may put a second thought in your mind with all their myths. My suggestion will be to avoid them as the myths they spread can come in the way of you getting yourself comfortable in your home.
Let's clear the fog for you here itself before you believe in any myth
MYTH 1: There's no need for maintenance until the heating and cooling systems are running.
FACT:
After all, it's an electronic appliance, and all these appliances need maintenance.
Regular maintenance will keep it intact and guarantee a long-life for the system.
This is a myth that keeps most people from calling the maintenance guy and getting the system checked.
MYTH 2: You don't need any such system as the air around you is clean.
FACT:
However, clean the air in and around Melbourne might seem, you can always get affected by the unpredictable weather inside. All houses have issues around the quality of indoor air. The difference is just that some homes may face it severely while others might not feel so uneasy.
However, isn't it better to learn from others' experiences and avoid any such circumstances for yourself?
Here are some factors that might signal you the need for a heating and cooling system:
Right after you have carried out dusting out the whole house, you will feel the lack of fresh air inside.
For homes that have one or more pets, there's always an issue of pet hair and dander in the breathable air.
Plus, the debris that the air in your homes contains right after painting or a hairspray job can also bring uneasiness.
All these can result in unfavourable air that may cause allergies or breathing diseases in the long run. Hence, it's always necessary to get a heating and cooling system installed in your home.
MYTH 3: Your windows can do the job of these systems.
FACT:
Here's the most bogus myth that you can ever come across! In a typical home, most of the heating and cooling happens due to the air leaks and lousy insulation in the walls or the roof. The heating and cooling that occurs this way can cause discomfort and most of the times sickness for the dwellers within.
You defo don't want any such conditions, or do you? Can you really afford to believe this myth and put your health at risk?
MYTH 4: Bigger heating and cooling systems mean more savings.
FACT:
Everything that looks big doesn't necessarily have to be a lifesaver for you. Always practice buying the heating and cooling systems based on the size of the room where you are going to install it. An oversized system may cool or heat your room quickly, but this will increase the burden on your electricity bill.
MYTH 5: Energy-efficient heating and cooling systems aren't worth it!
FACT:
You will get to know this only after you use one. People have reviewed certain energy-efficient systems that cost them more than the conventional systems. However, ultimately, they saw the difference that the systems made on their electricity bills.
Conclusion
To sum up, the myths may seem realistic superficially, but a deep insight and knowledge will help you identify the truth from the myths. A heating and cooling system can be one of the best investments you can make to get yourself a favourable climate in the home.
