Temperature Inconsistent in Your Home? Check for These 4 Issues
Do you feel like the temperature in your home varies from room to room? Or, maybe you have multiple floors in your home and they feel totally different temperature wise. Well, the good news is that you’re not the only one dealing with this issue and there is help out there. Choosing to partner with our team at Ideal Conditions, is a decision that you surely will not regret. As your trusted HVAC team in the Jacksonville area, we want you to be aware of 4 issues to check for when it comes to inconsistent temperature in your home.
Poor Insulation
If the insulation in your home is old or not installed properly, air can easily escape from your home. In turn, your HVAC unit is having to work much harder to keep your home cool or warm, depending on the time of year. What really makes insulation bad for any homeowner is that your heating and cooling bills will likely increase because of the fact that your HVAC unit is having to work much harder.
Damaged or Dirty Ductwork
Another issue that we find with our clients is that their ductwork is damaged, leaking or dirty. Due to this damage, some of the rooms in your home may not be getting the same amount of air flow as others, causing the temperature inconsistency in your home. Debris such as pollen, dust and pet hair can also build up in your ductwork, reducing the efficiency of your air flow.
Old and Leaky Windows
Your old and leaky windows could also be contributing to the inconsistent temperature in your home. By investing in energy efficient windows or adding window blinds to reduce sunlight you can help to boost the temperature consistency in your home.
Incorrect Sized HVAC System
At Ideal Conditions, some of the homes that we’ve worked on have had improperly sized HVAC systems installed. Especially if the HVAC system is too small, the air flow is not going to be strong enough to spread a consistent temperature across your home.
If you are fed up with one room in your home being comfortable while the other rooms are too hot or too cold, it is time for you to call on our professional HVAC experts at Ideal Conditions.
