I am not an HVAC professional but I have done a lot of work on houses.
Since I was just dealing with an overly warm home office, I want to share
two tips in case anyone finds them useful:

(1) The best thing any homeowner can do is replace their filters regularly
(I do every two months at least). Don't use the expensive hepa filters
because they choke your system and don't use the really cheap ones. Use
mid-grade. I use filters with a MERV rating in the 5-8 range. (More
information on MERV ratings here:
https://hvactrainingshop.com/what-merv-rating-should-you-use/). If you need
air purification, you can buy a separate stand-alone air purifier. Using
your HVAC system for air-purification costs more to run and causes more
wear and tear on your system.

(2) My HVAC system is only 8 years old but from the beginning my home
office has always been hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It is at
the end of the duct run so not enough air comes out of the vent. I was
about to buy a window ac unit last week when I found this great product. It
is a vent cover that has two small fans in it. You plug it in and it
increases air flow from the vent. Completely solved my problem for 50
bucks, and I don't have to block a window with a bulky unit.
