EZ Air Conditioning and Heating

HVAC systems are equipped to distribute hot and cold air throughout your home evenly. This means that changes in the amount of air that can get through the ducts may result in inconsistent results. If your area has hot or cold spots in certain areas, it’s likely you’re having issues with airflow in your ductwork. To help figure this out and ensure your system functions properly, keep reading. 

• Clean AC Vents
  Like any equipment, to make sure your air conditioner will operate as it should, it must be well-maintained and regularly inspected. This is highly recommended because AC vents tend to accumulate dust and debris floating in your house. As it builds up, this dirt can block the airflow coming out of the vents. You can fix this by wiping them down during your routines.

• Checking Your Filters
  As this is often overlooked, you are urged to ask your air condition service tech to have these examined. This way, you can be assured that they are neat without clogs and dirt. Also, keep in mind that it’s essential to get the right type of air filter given that they are rated differently:

1. MERV 1 – 4: This is the standard rating for most residential air conditioners.

2. MERV 5 – 8: Commonly used in schools, offices or light commercial buildings, and are sometimes found in homes, especially if the homeowners want extra clean air.

3. MERV 9 – 12: Very uncommon in residential settings, filters of this rating are usually found in much larger buildings with powerful HVAC systems such as malls.

4. MERV 13 – 16: Air filters this powerful are pretty much only used in sterile environments like hospitals.
