Cold and hot spots in your home can be really obvious during certain times of the year. Cold and hot spots can make your less enjoyable to be in. There are steps that you can take to ensure that the airflow in your home is balanced without hot and cold spots all over the place, making your home unpleasant.

#1 Offset the Temperature in Your Home

If you have a two story, the structure of your home could contribute to the cold and hot spots inside of your home. An easy fix can be to offset or stager the temperature in your home. Make the upstairs two degrees warmer than the downstairs. Setting the upstairs and the downstairs so that there is a two-degree difference can be helpful.

#2 Clean Your Filters

Next, you are going to want to make sure that you keep your air filters clean. Cleaning your air filters will help improve the quality of your air. When the debris builds up, it obstructs the flow of air in your home. Cleaning your air filter also increases the efficiency of your furnace and it helps extend the overall life of your entire HVAC system. Additionally, it can help keep your energy costs down as well when your system is working as effectively as possible. This can help keep the temperature in your home balanced if you have hot and cold spots in your home.

#3 Be Careful About Where Your Thermostat is Placed

Next, you need to be careful about where your thermostat is placed. You don't want your thermostat to be placed somewhere where a lot of heat is generated. Keep in mind that electronics can generate a lot of heat as well. So you don't want your thermostat right next to your big screen television and you don't want your thermostat right next to your stove, or over a heat vent. You also don't want your thermostat located where it will be directly hit by the sun. The best place for your thermostat is on an inside wall where it will not get hit by other types of heat.

This will help your thermostat get the most accurate information and help keep the temperature in your home balanced.

#4 Leave Space Around Your Vents

Finally, make sure that you leave space around your vents. You need to do more than not just cover up your vents; you need to make sure that you leave enough space around your vents for effective airflow. You want to leave about a foot and a half of space around all of your vents.

The steps above are just a few that you can take to get rid of hot and cold spots in your home. You can also enlist air conditioning repair services for more assistance with getting rid of hot and cold spots in your home.
