Reasons for Uneven Cooling
Here are the common reasons why your cooling may be uneven:
Issues with the Ductwork
Your ductwork is the delivery system for your cool air, but many people can have faulty ductwork and not know it. Faults in ductwork aren’t uniform, so it isn’t unusual for a particular room to be affected by faulty ductwork while others aren’t. Your ductwork may also be excessively dirty or be poorly installed; all of these problems can lead to uneven cooling.
Daytime Heat Gain
The other reason your home may have areas that are far warmer than others is daytime heat gain. The sun’s heat can add up to 10 degrees to your home during the day in the summer months. This is a significant amount of heat and will certainly be felt. However, there are ways to greatly reduce the amount of heat daytime heat gain adds to your home. Long drapes or blinds can be used to block out the sun; ceiling fans can be used to better circulate your cool air. Specialized window screens can also block out the sun, creating a natural shield against the sun’s heat; window awnings can also help.
