It takes more than selecting the right HVAC product to keep your Carencro, LA, home or business comfortable in every season. To ensure that you enjoy the best performance and the highest energy efficiency, the entire system must be installed and maintained with professional care. One of the most difficult components of central air conditioning and heating systems to get right is the ductwork. An improper air balance in the hidden network of air ducts that runs through your structure can cause undue wear and tear of the HVAC equipment, impact your comfort and send your energy bills soaring. Professional air balancing services help make sure that you enjoy the best performance from your heating and cooling systems.
What Is Air Balancing?
Air balancing involves making inspections, tests and adjustments to your central HVAC system to verify that the correct amount of air is being delivered to every comfort zone in your home or business. The service may include moving and/or adjusting the dampers inside the ductwork that control and direct air flow. Changes to the ducts and vents may be made as well. The goal is to balance the supply and return channels to optimize system efficiency and to ensure that you enjoy the highest level of comfort in every room.
How Do I Know If I Need Air Balancing for My HVAC System?
An improperly balanced air distribution system can force your heating and cooling systems to work overtime to reach ideal temperatures. That added strain can cause damage to parts and equipment, leading to major repairs. Longer running times can lead to a premature replacement of the system as well. Not every HVAC contractor has the expertise and training that it takes to balance the system properly. Our skilled technicians can analyze your system to determine if it was correctly installed and balanced. Other signs or conditions that indicate your system will benefit from air balancing services include:
Rooms that have different temperatures
Persistent cold or warm spots
Premature wear on HVAC equipment
New HVAC equipment additions or installations
Higher than usual energy bills
Changes to your home such as new windows, remodels or additions
