One of the top complaints when it comes to home comfort is temperature inconsistency from room to room. Drafts and inadequate circulation are often the source of these types of problems, and many homeowners feel that they are at a loss when it comes to finding a solution to this issue. Many people can’t afford to blindly spend their money in search for an answer, but Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning has a few suggestions that any homeowner can cheaply implement in the home.
3 Ways to Even Out Your Home’s Temperature:
- Furnace Fan: The first step towards improving circulation in the home would be to turn the furnace circulating fan to “On.” The fan is most likely set to the “Auto” position which would only allow the fan to run when the furnace is generating heat. By turning the fan on all of the time, more air exchanges will be made through the ducts of the home which will lead to better circulation and disbursal of air in the home.
- Ceiling Fan: During the winter months, changing the direction of flow of the ceiling fan will help aide circulation in the home as well. A fan set to run clockwise will push air up. This effectively pushes that hot air that has risen to the ceiling back down into the room. This will help eliminate temperature variances from room to room and help optimize use of the heat created by your heating system.
- Adding Insulation: If you have a little bit more money to invest in the home, adding a little extra insulation could solve your problems in a very affordable way! Rooms that lack insulation are incapable of holding onto the heat that is intended to warm the space. Adding insulation will help the room hold in this heat and therefore eliminate the drafts and temperature differences that may have been present.
These three highly affordable improvements will hopefully transform your temperature problems and bring increased comfort to the home. Four Seasons can help make adding insulation, installing ceiling fans, or replacing furnace fans easier and more affordable that you would have ever expected.
