Different Ways Your Furniture Can Affect Your HVAC

Several things can affect the performance of your heating and air conditioning system. We’re willing to be that furniture isn’t the first thing you’ve thought of. It may not seem that way, but furniture can influence the way your system works — for better or for worse. The premier HVAC installation company in the area, ACS Air Conditioning Systems, explains more here. 

Furniture Hampers HVAC Airflow

You’ll need to be careful about furniture placement. Make sure that it’s not blocking the vents or registers in the room; otherwise, the HVAC unit will have a hard time sending conditioned air evenly and efficiently throughout your home. Just keep the vents and registers free of any obstructing furniture and all will be fine. But if that doesn’t work, and you’re still noticing poor airflow from your AC, some other issue might be in play. 

You should consider calling a trusted HVAC service provider like ACS Air Conditioning Systems for a comprehensive inspection. We have served homeowners in the East Bay area since 1969, providing them with only the highest quality solutions to all their HVAC needs. With our team of trained, experienced and certified technicians, we’ll make sure any of your HVAC problems are dealt with in a timely and efficient manner, with zero mistakes and zero cause for complaints.

Furniture Provides Shade Against Solar Heat

Your home’s access to sunlight has both advantages and drawbacks. On one hand, it keeps your home illuminated naturally during the daytime, which helps reduce your utility bills. But on the other hand, sunlight can lead to unwanted solar heat gain. This not only results in longer cycles from your air conditioner but also increases your energy costs. But here’s where furniture placement comes in. You can arrange your furniture in such a way that it blocks the path of sunlight to the room. By creating shadows in the room, your furniture can help keep indoor temperatures down and prevent any unnecessary strain on your air conditioning system.
