Air Balancing | Pierce County | WestCoast Heating & Air

Air balancing is quite self-explanatory. It means ensuring that air is adequately distributed over the interior. Improper air balance in the HVAC system leads to hot and cold spots, which reduces energy efficiency and indoor air quality. Learn how to balance the air for maximum air efficiency during the peak of summer.

Adjust the Register

During summertime, completely open the duct register on the upper floors and semi-close the ones on the first floor. Do this even if there isn’t anyone present on the higher floors. When autumn comes and the weather gets cooler, reverse the process.

Put Up Window Drapes

Every window should have curtains or shutters. The absence of coverings enables sunlight to penetrate inside the home. This causes the HVAC to work harder to cool the warmer interior. About 76% of sun rays that enter via windows are converted to heat.

Be Mindful of Appliance Location

All appliances generate heat during operation. Don’t keep appliances in close proximity to the HVAC’s thermostat. The thermostat will sense the appliance’s heat and interpret that as the actual temperature. It will then raise air conditioning output or keep it running for a longer period, leading to unnecessary energy usage.

Clear the Vents

Never directly place furniture over the vents. Vents need a minimum of 18-inches of free space around them. Relocate furniture so they don’t get in the vents’ way. If this isn’t doable, then invest in a magnetic air deflector. This is an easy-to-install device that blows air to the sides and not directly in front.

I was extremely pleased with their service. When I called in the morning saying my furnace wasn’t working, they were at my house by noon. I had a new furnace installed within five days and it was during the holidays. I highly recommend them and their prices are awesome.

After getting a estimate from one of the radio advertisers I decided to contact WestCoast Heating & Air, Michael gave me a much better price so I couldn't be any happier with his company and employee that did the work. I did refer Michael to a friend Rick W. that needed a new furnace, he like what WestCoast Heating and Air offered and had them do the job.

The workers that helped me replace my furnace were stellar individuals! Kind, courteous, honest, and efficient. It was great to work with a company that valued our business, and didn’t try to overcharge (especially since we are seniors). Couldn’t recommend them more.

West Coast is a family owned business. They are very friendly, professional and they care about their clients and getting them set up with the best system. Every part of my experience with them was exceptional....when they came out for the estimate, scheduling with the office manager, their installation. The system they installed looks great! I couldn't be more happier with my new heat pump system! Thank you West Coast for everything!

WestCoast Heating & Air did an incredible job installing a ductless mini-split system in our new home. It looks incredible & works even better during the hottest weather of the year.

From the moment Michael arrived at our house for the estimate and evaluation, I felt comfortable. The price was reasonable, the estimated installation date was accurate, there were no hidden "surprises" or fees, and the work was done responsibly, accurately and professionally. He and Diane are down-to-earth, friendly people. I'd recommend them gladly, and use them again any time!
