Why Running Your AC Fan Constantly Is Not Always the Best Choice
A Common Arizona Air Conditioning Myth Exposed
Many homeowners across Paradise Valley and Cave Creek believe that keeping their AC fan running continuously will result in better temperature control and improved air quality. At Four Seasons Home Services, we frequently encounter this misconception during our service calls.
Here’s why this myth needs debunking:
The Real Cost of Continuous Fan Operation
• Increased energy consumption and higher utility bills
• Accelerated wear and tear on system components
• Potential for higher indoor humidity levels
• Unnecessary strain on the motor
What You Should Do Instead
The most efficient approach is to use the “Auto” setting on your thermostat. This allows your system to:
• Cycle naturally based on temperature needs
• Maintain proper humidity levels
• Extend equipment lifespan
• Reduce energy consumption
Professional Insights
In the intense Arizona heat, particularly in areas like Sun City and Deer Valley, proper system operation is crucial. Rather than running your fan continuously, focus on:
• Regular maintenance schedules
• Clean air filters
• Proper thermostat settings
• Professional tune-ups
Remember, every home’s cooling needs are unique. What works in Anthem may not be ideal for New River. For the most efficient operation of your HVAC system, trust the expertise of professionals who understand our local climate challenges.
