Proper airflow is necessary to keep your home comfortable and energy-efficient. It also helps your home feel fresher and cleaner throughout the day. Here are five simple ways to improve airflow, comfort and efficiency inside your Cleburne, TX, home or business:
Schedule HVAC Maintenance
Just like for your car, you need to schedule regular tuneups on your heating and cooling systems. Your HVAC system comes with an owner’s manual with a plan for scheduled maintenance. Following it with the help of professional service technicians will ensure your HVAC system runs efficiently with adequate airflow year-round.
Clean or Change the Air Filters
Your air filters are an important line of defense against poor airflow. Treated air cannot flow freely throughout your residence when air filters become blocked. Blocked air filters are also bad for the overall quality of your home’s air. Depending on your filter type, clean or wash yours every 30-90 days.
Wipe Your Supply Vents Clean
The ductwork in your home can collect dust, debris and other particles over time as it cycles your home’s air. Problems with airflow could occur if the debris and dust cover your HVAC system’s supply vents. To prevent this, wipe the supply vents clean occasionally and vacuum the dust around them.
Use the Ceiling Fans
Turning on your ceiling fans goes a long way toward promoting strong and healthy airflow in your home. During the summer, they should spin counterclockwise. During the winter, they should spin clockwise, moving warm air downward to make your rooms feel warmer.
Open the Windows
There’s no better way to get fresh into your home than by opening the windows. This is also an ideal way to make your home’s air healthier.
