If you are out in the sun and it is getting hot you likely look for spot in the shade. One of the reasons is that the sun is not going to be hitting you directly and this can give you some relief. The other reason is that it is known that the temperature in the shade is much less in than in the sun. If you think about it there are spots that are hot while others are cooler. This is a welcome look when you are outside but you don’t want to find the same thing in your home. The home is a place that you want to have a consistent and balanced temperature. This is so that no matter where you are in the house you are going to get the same level of comfort. If you start to notice that there are hot or cool spots in the house you want to make sure that you do what you can to correct it. Ambient Heating & Air Conditioning outlines what you can do about air balancing issues in your home.

Open Return Air Vent Registers for Best Air Flow

When you go to each of the rooms in your home you want to look at the registers that are in the room. This is where the air that is being cooled or heated will come into the space. The register usually has a latch on it so that you can adjust the level of air and the direction of air that is entering the room. You want to make sure that you look at them and open them all up. If you have any of the registers that are closed the air will not be able to entre that space. It is always best to have them all open and then the air can circulate through the house and help to balance it out faster.

Don’t Create Heat in Home

You also want to make sure that you do what you can to not create heat in a particular room or space. The ways that you might be allowing heat in is through an open window. The best thing to do is to make sure that your windows have covers such as shutters or blinds. This will allow you the ability to cover them rather than letting the heat come in the space and setting off the balance of the air. You also want to do what you can to prevent using appliances and other fixtures that are near a thermostat. The heat that they can create will cause a false reading and that can make it think that the unit will need to run longer than actually necessary.

Set Thermostat Fan Setting to Circulate

Another thing that you can do is to make sure that you use the fan setting on the thermostat. You will see that there is a setting for heat, off and cool but there also is a fan setting. You can set it to auto as well as on. Most people will set it at auto and allow it to run when necessary. If you are struggling to keep consistent air it is a good idea to set it to on so that the air is constantly being circulated.
