Myth 1: The Bigger the Heating System, The Better

The notion that ‘bigger is always better’ does not apply to heating systems.

Thompson carries out meticulous heat-load calculations to provide you with the appropriately sized system for your space, ensuring optimal performance.

Myth 2: Setting Thermostat too High Speeds up Heating

Some believe that setting the thermostat to a higher temperature can accelerate the heating process. Unfortunately, this is untrue and only leads to excessive energy use. Maintain a comfortable, steady temperature for efficient heating and to avoid unnecessarily high energy bills.

Myth 3: Regular Maintenance is Unnecessary

Regular maintenance is essential to prolong the life of your system, maintain optimal efficiency, and prevent costly repairs. Thompson Plumbing, Heating & AC offers a comprehensive annual service plan that includes routine inspections and preventive maintenance to keep your system running smoothly all year round.
