Boosting your home’s airflow and cooling efficiency starts with understanding how air moves through your space and how small changes can have an enormous effect. Let’s go over a few tips to help improve your home’s airflow and cooling power in Mesa, AZ.
Check Your Home’s Ductwork
You should have a comfort specialist check the ductwork, along with the rest of your HVAC system, to make sure there are clear pathways for the air conditioning to run at its most efficient. Clogs or rips in the ductwork can limit the airflow and cooling power of your home’s air conditioner, so it’s important to have comfort specialists inspect the ductwork regularly.
Consider a Ductless Cooling System
If you have a room or area in your home that doesn’t get enough airflow and you aren’t able to cool it very well with your current system, you may want to consider getting a ductless mini-split. The extreme efficiency of a ductless cooling system is due to one unit working for only one room. Plus, you don’t have to worry about ductwork.
Adjust the Ceiling Fans
If you change the direction that the ceiling fans spin, this could help the airflow in each room. Generally, ceiling fans should spin counterclockwise if you want the air to feel cooler. Doing this helps create a downward airflow that helps cool the space.
Prevent Restrictions
It’s important to make sure nothing covers the registers. If you have furniture or other items blocking any of the vents in your home, it’ll require your HVAC system to work harder to cool the space.
Getting ready for the warmer months of the year by making sure that your home’s airflow is the best it can be is a great way to help you remain as comfortable as possible.
