High Ceilings: HVAC Pros & Cons

 High ceilings, wood beams, steep angles, and dramatic chandeliers all give architectural character and drama to a home. Unfortunately, those lovely ceilings will make your HVAC system work harder, raising your energy expenses. 

But don’t worry, there are ways to heat and cool a home with high ceilings properly and efficiently without blowing your budget or damaging the environment. 

Ensure the right size and capacity of your HVAC

If you have a high-ceilinged home and find yourself frequently adjusting the thermostat to get a comfortable temperature, it’s probable that your current HVAC Equipment is either too small or lacks the power or capacity to adequately heat or cool your room. Have an HVAC professional design a system that considers the square footage, ceiling height, and other factors to ensure that you receive the right system for your home.

Get an energy-efficient HVAC system

Regardless of how high your ceilings are, this ingenious system adjusts the temperature, manages humidity, maintains air quality, and saves energy. You can even control everything from your smartphone! 

Work on the ductwork 

Since hot air goes up as you heat a home with high ceilings, you’re likely paying to heat the air trapped in the ceiling, leaving the remainder of your house chilly. In the summer, your air conditioner needs to work extra hard to cool all that hot air above you. Your ductwork, believe it or not, can help. In your massive room, installing a dual-low and high-return air register can make a great difference. You can turn off the low return in the summer to allow the high return to pull hot air from the ceiling, and you can turn it back on in the winter to pull warm air down to the floor. 

Install ceiling fans

Ceiling fans can aid in the efficient distribution of warm or cold air and relieve some of the strain on your HVAC system. In the winter, turn the fan blades clockwise to push heat downward and away from the ceiling. In the summer, reverse the rotation of the fan to create a cooling wind.
