The air in your house is something that you have control over. You can go to the thermostat and set the temperature in the house. You can rest easy knowing that the air in the house will be at the temperature all day and all night. You can even set it so that it has a different temperature when you are home and when you are away. This is a great way to increase your efficiency and keeping your energy consumption down. The great thing about HVAC systems is that it can go from heating the home to cooling it when needed. This is what makes your house a comfort to be in and to live in. When you start to have problems with your HVAC system it can cause the house to not be comfortable and send you looking for answers. One of the problems that people have with their HVAC system are called hot or cold spots. It is an area or room in the house that is not kept at the same temperature as the rest of the house. There are some tips on keeping your houses air balanced.

Check Air Vents: Each of the rooms in your house has a supply of cold or hot air that is being sent into that space. The air is heated or cooled and then sent through the rooms to get them to the temperature that the thermostat is set to. When you start to notice that the air in one of the rooms is not cooled or heated to the temperature it is called a hot or cold spot. The first thing that you want to do is to check the actual vent that is in the room you are concerned about. The vent has a slide that will allow you to adjust the amount of air that is coming in that particular space. You should check to be sure that the vent is open and not closed off in each room.
Thermostat Placement Guidelines: When your home was built and the HVAC system was laid out the thermostat is placed in a general area. The problem is that when you add an appliance or fixture that creates heat it can give the thermostat an incorrect reading. The thermostat is in a particular area to give it the best chance of getting a balanced air reading. You want to make sure that you keep the area near the thermostat cleared out.
Cover Windows to Keep Cold Out: When you are trying to keep your house balanced and the air level in the house you need to look at your windows. The windows are letting in sun and the sun is letting in heat. This can be a problem for a room that is getting hot faster than the rest of the house and becoming too hot. You want to make sure that you keep the windows covered to avoid the sun spots from heating the room and causing an unbalance in the room.
