When should I consider scheduling an air balancing service?
Air balancing is fundamental to keeping forced-air systems (such as furnaces and central AC) operating safely. You should consider this service:
– Immediately after installing a new HVAC system or upgrading an existing one.
– Following major home renovations or layout changes.
– If you notice persistent hot or cold spots in specific rooms.

How does the air balancing process work?
A technician uses specialized tools to measure the airflow (in cubic feet per minute) coming out of every register in your home. They then adjust the registers and sometimes even the ductwork in the attic to ensure the output is equalized. Once adjustments are made, the technician remeasures the airflow to confirm that every room receives the same level of comfort.
