Why Are There Hot and Cool Spots in My Home?
December 12, 2016
Living in Miami obviously means that your air conditioner gets a lot more playing time than your heating system does. In truth, though, both systems are important if you want to live comfortably throughout the entire year. You are not going to be able to do so if you are unable to heat and cool your home evenly.
There are a few different reasons as to why hot or cold spots may pop up in your home. Should the problem be related to your HVAC system, you can count on our team of professionals to find the appropriate solution. Contact us if you are struggling to maintain even, comfortable temperatures throughout your house.
- Poor insulation in certain areas of your home may certainly lead to uneven temperatures throughout the house. It is possible that whoever installed the insulation in your home simply did not use enough insulation, or that it is not of a sufficient R-value for doing the job. If this is the case, we recommend that you hire a professional contractor to either add insulation to your home or to replace damaged and deteriorated insulation.
- Problems with your ductwork could also lead to trouble in heating or cooling your home. During the hottest time of the year, are the areas that are too hot the same as those that are too chilly during our milder nights? If so, it is likely that the ductwork servicing this area of your house is leaking or otherwise compromised. Because this ductwork is responsible for distributing both heated and cooled air around the house, any problems with it should be dealt with promptly.
- Malfunctioning equipment, such as a zone control system or even a thermostat, can also lead to trouble with uneven heating and cooling. Only professional HVAC technicians like ours can diagnose the problem accurately, let alone resolve it successfully. Dial our number to start living in the comfort that you deserve, all year long.
