In our continuous effort to educate our community about Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), we, at T. N. Bowes Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc., are here to debunk some common myths related to heating repair and services in Southern Maryland.

Myth 1: No Maintenance Needed if the System is Running Fine

A prevalent myth is that you don’t need to have your heating system serviced unless it stops working. This notion could not be further from the truth. Regular maintenance keeps the system running at peak efficiency and prevents unexpected breakdowns. It’s not unlike keeping your car in top shape; preventive care goes a long way. T. N. Bowes offers comprehensive system checks and maintenance services across Southern Maryland including Waldorf, Leonardtown, Hollywood and Lexington Park.

Myth 2: Cranking the Thermostat Warms Up the House Faster

Another commonly believed myth is that turning your thermostat up to a high temperature will heat your home faster. However, that’s not how your heating system works. Your furnace works at the same rate irrespective of how high the thermostat is set. If anything, setting it too high can lead to unnecessary energy waste.

Myth 3: All Heating Service Providers are the Same

The belief that all service providers offer the same quality of service can lead homeowners to choose a company solely based on price, overlooking important factors like certification, experience and reputation. At T. N. Bowes, we pride ourselves on our professionalism, effective service and dedication to customer satisfaction. Our expert teams serve areas including but not limited to California, La Plata, and parts of Waldorf.

We hope this guide helps you sift fact from fiction when it comes to heating services in Southern Maryland. When in doubt, don’t hesitate to contact us. After all, we firmly believe – An educated customer is our best customer.
