It can be a tough job to keep the rooms in your home evenly heated, especially during the coldest days of winter. Keeping the rooms throughout your home are evenly heated hinges on many different factors. Luckily, there are also a lot things you can do to remedy the problem.
If your room is too stuffy, what should you do? Most people merely close the vent to fix the problem. What they don’t realize is that doing this can throw off the balance of your system and actually reduce your energy efficiency.
So, what should you do instead? We have some tips.
Keep the areas around your cold air return vents clear
Not only does your furnace push hot air through your home to heat it, it pulls cooler air from your inside your home. If your cold air returns are blocked, your furnace can only do half its job. Keeping these vents clear will allow your furnace to operate properly and help it regulate room temperatures better.
Regular maintenance is key

Our experts can help keep your system in top shape by doing small tasks like changing filters and bigger jobs like identifying imminent issues before they happen or repairing major issues like replacing a broken circuit board.

Don’t rely on Auto setting
A few rooms in your home may be more removed and are therefore more difficult to heat. Ensuring your thermostat has the fan switch “On” instead of on “Auto” can help. When the fan is switched to “On,” your furnace will keep air moving from room to room and create a more even temperature.
