At 4 Winds AC and Heating, we believe your comfort starts with quality airflow. Poor circulation can make your home feel stuffy, uneven in temperature, and force your HVAC system to work harder than it needs to. The good news?You can take simple steps to improve airflow and boost efficiency. Here’s how:

Replace or Clean Air Filters Regularly

Dirty air filters restrict airflow and make your system work harder. Check your filters monthly and replace them every one to three months, depending on usuage and whether you have pets and/or allergies.

Keep Vents and Registers Clear

Make sure furniture, rugs, and curtains aren’t blocking your vents. Even partially blocked vents can cause uneven airflow, making some rooms feel warmer or cooler than others.

Use Ceiling Fanes Wisely

Ceiling fans help circulate air, taking pressure off your HVAC system. In the summer, set them to spin counterclockwise to push cool air down. In the winter, reverse the direction to pull warm air up and circulate it.

Schedule Duct Cleaning

Over time, dust, debris, and even mold can build up in your ducts, restricting airflow. A professional duct cleaning every few years keeps your system running smoothly and your indoor air cleaner.

Seal Leaks in Ductwork

Leaky ducts let air escape into undconditioned spaces like attics and crawlspaces. Sealing these leaks not only improve airflow but also boosts energy efficiency.

Open Interior Doors

Air needs pathways to flow freely. Keeping doors open between rooms allows your system to distribute air evently throughout the home.

Get a Professional HVAC Inspection

Sometimes, poor air flow points to bigger issues like an aging system, improperly sized ductwork, or a failing blower motor. Our certified technician can assess your system and recommend solutions to keep your home comfortable all year long.
