If you are like many other individuals, you may have little understanding about how your home's air conditioning system keeps the building comfortable. A weak understanding of your house's air conditioning system can make you vulnerable to believing misconceptions about these systems and how they impact your home. By having the following common myths refuted, you should be much better informed about this essential part of your house. 

Myth: An Air Conditioner Will Make The Home's Interior Humid

There are some people that believe their air conditioning system will make the home's interior more humid. This may seem to make some sense because the air conditioning will pull air from the outside into your home's interior. As a result, you may think that this will raise your home's interior humidity if you live in a humid climate. Luckily, this is not the case because these systems are designed to compensate for this problem. 

Most air conditioning systems have some form of humidity control built into them. Often, this is in the form of a dehumidifier that is installed in the exterior unit. These devices will extract most of the excess moisture from the air before it is circulated throughout your home. 

Myth: Your Air Conditioning System Can Cause Breathing Problems

Breathing problems are a common problem that many people experience, and whether this issue is being caused by asthma or lung disease, it can make it exceedingly difficult for you to comfortably live your life. Sadly, some people assume that their air conditioning system will become dusty, and this may lead to breathing issues for these individuals. 

Fortunately, this can be avoided by having an AC installation company install a high-quality hypoallergenic air filter on the system and having the ducts cleaned every few years. A duct cleaning will remove all of the dust and dirt that is in the ducting as well as eliminating any molds or bacteria that may be growing. Professional duct cleanings can be somewhat expensive, but this may be the best option for ensuring that your home's interior is comfortable without contributing to potentially severe breathing complications. 

Without air conditioning, it would be impossible for you to keep your home comfortable during the hot months. For those that do not understand these complex systems, it can be difficult to separate myths from facts, which can make decisions about your system very difficult to make. Learning the truth behind these two myths will help you to understand that these systems will not make your home's interior much more humid and they can be cleaned to eliminate dust and dirt.
