4 Ways to Improve Airflow and Efficiency in Bonita Springs, FL

Bad airflow causes problems with your HVAC system in Bonita Springs, FL. Keeping the airflow moving freely is important for the system’s performance and lifespan. Keep reading to learn about four ways to get good airflow through your air conditioner this summer.

Unblocking Vents

You can block vents accidentally in different ways. One of the most common is placing furniture over the vents. Also, if you block the intake of the air conditioner, there will be a reduction of airflow that will affect the system’s efficiency.

Keeping Vents Clean

Dust can accumulate inside the vents and even collect in the duct that leads to the vent. It’s a good idea to remove the vents and stick a vacuum cleaner hose into the top of the ducts to remove the dust that could impede the airflow. An HVAC service technician can perform this service for you with special equipment that will clean the entire ductwork system.

Changing the HVAC Filter

A dirty air filter is the most common reason for poor HVAC airflow. Check your air filter every three months to see if it needs changing. If you have pets or live in a dusty climate, you might need to change the filter more often to ensure air flows freely through your system.

Plugging Leaks

Ducts lose up to 40% of energy from leaks. Of course, fixing leaks in refrigerant lines or ductwork isn’t a DIY job, but you can have one of our service technicians do it for you.
