Having adequate airflow throughout your Cordele, GA, home can protect your indoor air quality and improve the overall comfort of your residence. There are many reasons you may experience hot or cold spots in your home or a decrease in airflow, including these:
Dirty Air Filters
The air filter in your HVAC system will remove particulate matter from the air passing through your system. When you don’t replace this filter every 30 to 90 days as needed, it can decrease airflow throughout your entire HVAC setup. This results in less air flowing out of your vents and can cause equipment strain.
Vents That Are Not Open
If your vents aren’t open fully throughout your home, this will prevent air from correctly circulating. Make sure all your vents and registers are open to promote airflow and protect your heating and cooling equipment from unnecessary strain.
Damaged Ductwork
If there are small holes or cracks in your ductwork, air can escape through them before it moves into your living spaces. A professional from our team can seal or repair your ductwork to promote ample airflow and healthy indoor air quality.
Internal Equipment Issues
The components of your heating and cooling equipment can experience damage as they age. Certain items, like your furnace’s blower motor, affect how much air is circulating through your residence. Repairs should occur soon when you notice an issue.
Refrigerant Concerns
A refrigerant leak can affect your air conditioner’s performance negatively. Without proper refrigerant levels, your system will work harder and longer to maintain your comfort level. Schedule maintenance once or twice a year with one of our technicians to check for leaks and make repairs.
