Ideally, your HVAC system will keep all the rooms in your house at a comfortable, even temperature this fall. There shouldn’t be both hot and cold spots inside. However, if you’re feeling these differences in temperature, here are some reasons why you could have such hot and cold spots within your home in Mendenhall, MS.
Problems With Ducts
Your ductwork to certain rooms could be leaking, which will create pressure imbalances that could affect the even heating and cooling in those rooms. If you have hot and cold spots in your home, ask a a professional technician to examine the ductwork to see if there’s a problem with leaking or another issue, such as a flawed ductwork layout.
Blocked Registers
It could just be that you have accidentally blocked your system’s registers. For example, stacking items or placing furniture in front of the registers will restrict the airflow.
There might also be dust clogs in the vents or the ducts. Clearing them could create a more balanced heating and cooling effect within your home.
HVAC System That’s Too Big or Too Small
When your system is the wrong size, it’s inefficient. This will lead to hot and cold spots.
If your system is too small, then it will run all the time. It also won’t be able to heat or cool the rooms farthest from the equipment.
A system that is too big will run intermittently. It’ll run only for a short time when it turns on, which means that it won’t heat or cool effectively. You’ll need a professional HVAC technician for the necessary repairs or replacement.
