    Most of us take heating and cooling for granted. We expect our heating systems to keep us warm during the winter and depend on air-conditioning to keep us cool during the summer. AC Repair Canal Point

    I also think so balance the room pressure and stop this problem, the two most used repairs are installing a cross over duct through the wall over the door or simply cutting the bottom of the greendale furnace repair door off so there is a wider gap between the door and the carpet.
