What does air flow mean on AC?

Airflow
Airflow is a measure of the amount of air that enters and exits your air conditioning and heating system. In order to work properly, your system’s airflow must be properly balanced (the amount of air it takes in is equal to the amount of air it supplies to your home.)

What are the two directions of air flow in a HVAC system?

Remember that air flows from your ducts, through the filter, and into the furnace. The arrow on the filter should always point toward the furnace.

How can I increase the air flow in my house AC?

If you want to keep air flowing, unblock the AC vents. Many vents have closing systems installed so that you can block the vents internally. Start by making sure that those vents are open. Also, move anything that can block the flow of air coming out of the vent away from the vent.

How does a thermostat change the direction of airflow?

Move the thermostat control to the “On” position to activate the motorized damper control mounted on each duct. Thermostats may have additional settings that leave damper doors partially open. In effect, the thermostat settings change the airflow direction by regulating the amount of air that enters a zone.

Is it possible to change the direction of an HVAC duct?

Residential HVAC systems send air to different zones or areas within a home. Depending on the HVAC system’s design, manual or automatic controls make it possible to change the airflow direction within the duct work. Refer to your HVAC system’s manual to determine the zone layout for the system.

How does a HVAC system regulate air flow?

HVAC ducts have damper controls to regulate airflow. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems circulate conditioned air through a network of ducts that run throughout a home or building. Residential HVAC systems send air to different zones or areas within a home.

How to improve airflow in a heating unit?

Ask about an in-line air booster that fits in the duct. Change the return air filter regularly to avoid dust accumulation that affects efficiency in your heating unit. Wear a mask when working on the duct work if you are sensitive to dust. Secure the soft brush attachment before you start vacuuming the duct work.
