Fix Uneven Cooling issues in your home

If some rooms or areas of your home are too cold or too warm when you run your cooling system, you don’t have to accept it. Talented HVAC contractors can identify and solve specific HVAC system problems that cause uneven cooling. Your air conditioner or heat pump’s capacity may be too small or too large for your home’s square footage and unique characteristics if it isn’t sized appropriately. Insufficient capacity means that the equipment cannot cool all the space. Equipment with too much capacity will short-cycle repeatedly so it won’t cool your home evenly. An HVAC pro can do a detailed load calculation and suggest solutions like upgrading your equipment or adding ductless mini-splits. It’s almost impossible to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout a multi-story or larger home with just one thermostat controlling the cooling system. HVAC pros recommend zoning your HVAC system into two or more manageable zones. Each zone has its own thermostat and is defined by motorized dampers in the ductwork. All your dampers, thermostats, and HVAC equipment are controlled from a central panel. Flaws and inefficiencies in your HVAC air distribution system can result in significant variations in the amount of conditioned air that’s delivered to different rooms. Poor ductwork design, leaky ducts, and unbalanced airflow are common problems. To find the underlying cause, an HVAC contractor can inspect your system and perform various tests. Their recommendations might include sealing and insulating the ductwork, adding duct dampers or extra return air ducts, or adjusting the blower fan.
