During the summer, have you ever noticed that one room of your house is always hotter than another? We all wish that we could keep the whole house a consistent temperature, because walking into a warm room is the worst!
What is the Cause?
There are a few different causes to the difference of temperature in one room compared to the others. The list of factors includes square footage, amount of windows, direction the windows face, and the actual ductwork of the AC unit.
The type of HVAC unit you have can be a factor in even cooling and heating throughout the house. If the unit turns on at full power, and then fully quits, the rooms with heating factors such as multiple windows, and high square footage will stay consistently warmer.
Ductwork is one of the most common causes of inconsistent cooling in a house. Some rooms have too many ducts run to them while others are lacking. Each room has a specific amount of cooling needed to keep it at the desired temperature. If there are too few ducts running to the room, there is no possible way to cool the room consistently.
How to Fix Inconsistent Cooling
If the problem seems to be too many windows, invest in dark shades to cover the windows during the hottest time of day. This will increase the air conditioner’s effectiveness and can even improve the look of the room!
If you believe that the problem may be ductwork or even the condition of your air conditioner, call a professional. Talk with them and see what suggestion they have to fix the problem.
