Know that balancing HVAC air flow will not only make your home more comfortable throughout, it will also make the system run more efficiently. Efficient operation of the HVAC unit means lower utility bills. Review the air flow in your home with an overall inspection. Walk through your home and notice the areas that seem too warm or too cold. You must first determine where the biggest temperature fluctuations are in order to balance HVAC air flow. Check to make sure that all of the air registers are open throughout the house. Air registers are the grill-like vents that are in each room to release the warm or cool air. Air supply registers have a small lever to open or close the vent. Air return registers don't have the lever, but it's important to make sure that all registers are unobstructed by furniture, drapes or clutter. All rooms in your home should be no more or less than 3 degrees in difference.
Remember, Properly adjusted Air Flow saves you money month after month as well as makes your home more comfortable.

Clarksville Tn Heating and Air Conditioning Repairs - Tune Up
Warning: Home Owners
As a home owner you should be aware of what is involved in an air conditioning tune-up. If you read any manufactures recommendations you will find most will encourage a tune-up to ensure longevity of the equipment life. Also, most manufactures will NOT honor warranty repairs if the equipments failure is due to lack of maintenance.
Heat Pump Maintenance-A professional service technician should perform proper maintenance on a heat pump at least every year. The service call will involve a general tune-up, inspection, and cleaning of the system. Every tune-up should include a filter change, inspection of the inside and outside coils (and cleaning if necessary) and a check for proper airflow. In addition, the first time your heat pump is serviced, the technician should check the refrigerant levels by testing "superheat" and "subcooling" (depending on the type of unit). Once they verify the proper refrigerant charge, no service person should attach refrigerant gauges again, unless you notice a decrease in performance or a sudden increase in your electric bills. The tech should also always check for any life saving Code violations. In addition, have the technician show you how to change the filter. This should be done every month when the system is operating. A 1-inch pleated filter is recommended for most applications, as an upgrade from the cheapest fiberglass filters. "Washable" electro air filters create a lot better filtration and reduces home dusting by 90%! Ask your Ellis Heating & Cooling; Tech for more details.
--Furnace Maintenance-When it comes to furnaces, an ounce of prevention truly is worth a pound of cure. To help you avert the hassle of your furnace’s dying or simply not putting out enough heat—just when you need it most.
Hire a reliable maintenance and repair service tech to perform the preventive maintenance! HVAC techs have the right equipment to test your system thoroughly. These tests include the air flow rate, fuel flow, flue temperature, carbon dioxide-to-oxygen ratio of the exhaust gas, carbon monoxide levels and the internal thermostat calibration. In addition, the technician should do a complete cleaning of the system's combustion chamber, burners and the heat exchanger surfaces and check for any life saving Code violations.
--Starting a maintenance schedule suggested by your Ellis Heating&Cooling tech will benefit you in several ways. Well-tuned equipment will save you energy dollars, provide increased comfort, and extend the life of your heating system. Keep in mind that proper and professional cleaning and adjustments will save you money, protect your equipment investment and your families health.
