There are many misconceptions, misunderstandings, and myths (the three “M”s) when it comes to home heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. Unfortunately, the Internet and the rapid swap of bad information through social media, mostly from “that guy” on your Facebook feed, continues to spread these three “M”s, and it’s difficult for knowledgeable people in the industry to squash them.
