It can be a challenge to keep the rooms in your home evenly heated, especially during the coldest days of winter. Keeping the rooms in your home are evenly heated depends on several different factors. Luckily, there are also quite a few things you can do to correct the problem.
If your room is too hot, what can you do? Most people just close the vent to fix the problem. What they don’t realize is that blocking airflow to one room can throw off the balance of your system and essentially reduce your energy efficiency.
So, what should you do instead? We have some ideas.
Keep the areas around your cold air return vents clear
Not only does your furnace circulate hot air through your home to heat it, it draws out cooler air from your inside your home. If your cold air returns are blocked, your furnace can only do half its job. Keeping these vents clear will permit your furnace to operate properly and help it regulate room temperatures better.
Regular maintenance is key
We can’t say enough how important regular maintenance is to the proper and efficient operation of your heating and cooling system. Our experts can help keep your system at peak performance by doing small tasks like changing filters and bigger jobs like identifying impending issues before they happen or repairing major issues like replacing a broken circuit board. No matter what needs to be done, we’ll keep your home cozy.
Don’t rely on Auto setting
Certain rooms in your home may be more removed and are therefore more problematic to heat. Ensuring your thermostat has the fan switch “On” instead of on “Auto” can help. When the fan is switched to “On,” your furnace will keep air circulating from room to room and create a more even temperature.
