10 Simple Tips to Improve Air Circulation in Your Home

By Aztil – October 16, 2024

Air circulation is at the heart of any comfortable home. Gently moving air enhances your comfort in any room while softly ensuring an even temperature throughout the house. Good air circulation can reduce energy costs and provide good air quality. Dust and debris are continually removed by cycling through the HVAC filter and emitting through clean ducts and vents. Air circulation is crucial as our homes become better insulated to stay cool or warm in the summer and winter. If your home often feels stuffy or has uneven temperature zones, here are ten simple ways to improve air circulation and quality.

1. Use Ceiling Fans Wisely

Ceiling fans help keep air moving in each room. Turn your fans clockwise in the winter and counter-clockwise in the summer to properly distribute warm or cool air and help push air between rooms.

2. Open Windows and Doors

When the weather is right, you can increase air circulation by opening windows and doors. This is often the most comfortable in the spring and fall, or on gentle summer nights. The best circulation comes from cross-ventilation, opening windows on opposite sides of the house for steady airflow.

3. Install a Whole-House Fan

A whole-house fan is like an exhaust fan that pushes air up and out through the attic. It is a great way to draw in fresh air through windows and export stuffy air building up in the house. It works best in cooler outdoor temperatures.

4. Keep Interior Doors Open

Airflow works best when your house is open on the inside. While vents in each room can help, open interior doors allow air to flow freely between rooms. This provides better temperature distribution and ventilation in each room.

5. Use Exhaust Fans

Don’t forget the exhaust fans in your kitchen and bathrooms. They draw out humid air and cooking fumes while drawing in fresh air from the rest of the house. Use these regularly. Don’t forget to clean your exhaust fans and replace the fan blades or motors if they wear out.

6. Check and Clean Air Vents

Your ducts and vents are key in circulating fresh air through your home. Vents must be unobstructed. Clean the dust off your vents regularly to ensure a free and clear airflow.

7. Use Portable Fans

Portable fans are useful for rooms that need extra air circulation and those hard-to-reach areas of the house without an HVAC vent. Point fans through doorways for air circulation throughout the house. Place them in open windows to push warm indoor air out or pull fresh air in.

8. Invest in an Air Purifier With a Fan

If you want to improve air quality and circulation, get an air purifier with a fan to help circulate the purified air. You will enjoy air with fewer unwanted particles like dust, pollen, and microbes, and it will help keep air moving in the room where it is placed.

9. Clear Clutter From Airflow Pathways

Furniture, shelves, or curtains must not block your key airflow locations. Remove furniture from over vents in the floor or wall. Don’t block interior doorways with heavy curtains. Prioritize furniture arrangements that allow you to open windows when the weather is right.

10. Maintain Your HVAC System

Lastly, good air circulation often depends on the performance of your HVAC system. The blower fan, ducts, and vents are crucial for airflow to ensure that fresh, heated, or cooled air circulates through your house at all times. Schedule professional tune-ups and check for duct issues like leaks or dust buildup to keep your air quality in top condition.

Conclusion

A few small changes can ensure comfortable and clean airflow throughout your house. If your HVAC needs an inspection, tune-up, or repairs, you can rely on Aztil to place your home’s air quality and HVAC performance as our top priority. Contact us for HVAC cleaning and maintenance services.

Thank you Alex who diagnosed my AC issue quickly,! your superior technical skills and customer service have not gone unnoticed. Alex made my experience a pleasant one, even though my AC motor went and it needs to be ordered, the good news is it’s under warranty🤷🏼‍♂️

Helen Kraft

Today I had a repair/replacement done by Alex Molina
Alex is knowledgeable and explains what has to be done and it will be done
He is very polite, cleans up after himself and never complained about being in the sun for the number of hours that he had to be there to work
If anybody needs work and is lucky enough for Alex Molina to be your tech all will be done right
Thank you, Alex

Thanks to Aztil AC! One of our A/C units broke down unexpectedly, and Anthony got Lazaro out to us right away the next morning. Lazaro was excellent and he found the problem with our unit very quickly. We really appreciate their quick action and professional expertise. Outstanding service from start to finish!

Cari Adamonis

The AC maintenance service was excellent. Niko Garza was professional, helpful, kind, and was instrumental in arranging for the next Senior Technician to solve the AC problem that I am having. That service will be sometime today. He also recommended the dryer vent cleaning and the in-line AC cleaning, of which I scheduled for Monday and paid today. My husband has been very ill for the past 4 years and in the hospital right now. Aztil has arranged the services, after Niko explained the situation, so that they will be completed before he comes home because a patient on oxygen and a feeding tube cannot be without power to the whole house, even a short shut down would endanger him. Thank you Niko!

Technician Rick Cochran did an excellent job replacing the AC breaker and ensuring that everything was in correct working condition. I really appreciated his kindness and professional demeanor. Thank you Rick!

Today Technician Alex Molina completed the services (dryer lint trap cleaning and inline air handler cleaning). Once again, I was fortunate to have a professional, gracious, and thoughtful person come to my house to perform the services. Thank you so much Alex!

June 2 2025 Thank you Cody! It is a relief to finally have the A/C back to what it should be. The replacement of the coil is probably what was needed a month ago. Rather than dwell on what was, I truly appreciate the replacement service and how kind you were to a grieving widow.

Response from the owner:Hi Admonis, thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that Niko did an excellent job and that you were pleased with the outcome. Thank you for being a valued customer.

Wow, the scheduling process was a challenge, but our service tech Niko Garza was a grand slam. He more than made up for the scheduling challenges. We’ve been Aztil customers since 2017…. Scheduling was much stronger up until about a year ago, service techs have always been great. Peter, one of the schedulers also can in for the save!

Hey I need to update this 5 Star review, it needs to be a 10…. We needed a new system, boom, done in one day! Our tech, Asiel Barreto was tremendous. He even worked us through the process of using a NEST thermostat- Jackie in the central office rocked us through all the paperwork. This is why we are Aztil for life!

Myra luzardo

Update: I had Left. A bad review for this company. I had the new manager Anthony reach out to me and he helped me get my whole situation fixed. The solution was to switch back to a basic AC model that would benefit me and also be easy to work on. Anthony was great! He returned all my calls in a timely manner and helped ease my worries. Aztil finally switched out my unit and refunded me the difference. The installers were great and my experience was stellar. Def changed my look on the company. I appreciated the customer service and the communication. New management made a difference.

Previous review 3/2025
This company is the worst!! The previous AC that I used Was sold to them and I thought I could Trust them like the last company! I spent Over 12k for a unit in May 2024 along with a 5yr service contract!!! that the salesman said would be the best unit and solve all my hot spot issues. Well it hasn’t! And because my “best” unit is digital NO TECHNICIAN knows how to work the unit. They are constantly calling tech support and still no one knows. I’ve had 4 different technicians here and no one knows what the hell they are doing!! I have Had technicians out 7 times to my home bc the humidity stays at 65-68%. No one knows how to adjust it. I called For emergency service on a Friday night bc my unit stopped working. They told me they wouldn’t have anyone until Thursday!! Do not use this company. They never call you back. Management does not respond. So unprofessional! I have Been trying to contact someone for over a week and no one ever returns my calls!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

Response from the owner:Hi Myra, thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that Aztil was able to address your concerns and that you were pleased with the outcome. Thank you for being a valued customer.

Demora Centera

I've been using Aztil for over 10 years. Always prompt, polite, knowledgeable, and professional. Today (Memorial Day), my AC went out. Within 2 hours, Albert was at my house and fixed the issue quickly. I would recommend Aztil to anyone based on my own personal experience with them.

Response from the owner:Hi Demora, thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that Albert did an excellent job and that you were pleased with the outcome. Thank you for being a valued customer.

Bob Olson

The 4-stars is because I wasn’t informed of a scheduling change. After a little confusion regarding the appointment time the technician, Michael King contacted me. He arrived at the updated time. Was very professional and kept me informed about the service. He completed the job, cleaned up afterwards and thanked me for being a customer.

Response from the owner:Hi Bob, thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that Michael did an excellent job and that you were pleased with the outcome. Thank you for being a valued customer.

Cesar Izique

My service call was simple just clean the pipes. I asked the agent what was covered before I accepted and they stated clearing the pipes and other checkup. Well it did not turn out to be TRUE. I was charged for labor , materials(!) and other nonsense. NOT a Happy camper no one likes surprises! They are out of my list.

Response from the owner:Hello Cesar, Thank you for taking time to provide feedback about your experience with our company.

Robert Lefleur

It always seems that the air conditioner breaks down on a hot day.
Well, Aztil is cool under pressure.
First, Paul came out and diagnosed the problem and ordered the replacement parts. Making sure I got the best price.
Then, Dana showed up at my house ready to fix it.
And when it seemed things weren't quite right, Dana returned at 7:30 pm. - ON A FRIDAY NIGHT - to make sure it was A-Okay.

Aztil is definitely the company for our household.
