Maintaining optimal cooling performance from your air conditioning system means dealing with any problems through professional repair and maintenance. However, there are some things that even an untrained homeowner can do to ensure improved efficiency, one of which is the proper aiming and redirecting of the air vents. Here Air Products & Services, the premier air conditioning installation company in the area, shares how this simple method can make this possible.
The conditioned air produced by your cooling system is distributed throughout your house via the vents that are in your walls, floors and ceilings. To get the most out of your air conditioner’s cooling performance–and prevent an inconsistent thermal environment that leads to increased energy bills–make sure to direct your air vents the right way. For example:
Sometimes, cooling energy is wasted because it’s still distributed in unused areas of your home. You’ll see this loss reflected in your monthly bills. The good news is that you can mitigate this issue by redirecting your air vents. You should consider closing the vents, or at least restricting airflow to these unused spaces, so that cool air flows to the rooms that you use more often. However, make sure to close only 10% of your vents. Otherwise, the increased air pressure in your ducts will lead to damage and air leakage. If you want a safer, more efficient way to control airflow throughout your home, you should consult a local HVAC technician like Air Products & Services about a zoning system.
