Do You Have Hot And Cold Spots in Your Home?

Have you ever felt like it’s summer in the kitchen and winter in the bedroom? If you’re experiencing different seasons depending on where you are in your Rolesville, NC home, you’re not alone. If you’re tired of putting a sweater on only to take it off as you move around your home, then read on for solutions to hot and cold spots in your home.

Why Do I Have Hot And Cold Spots?

The reason your Rolesville home has vexing hot or cold spots can range from something as simple as forgetting to open vents or registers to something significant such as an under- or over-sized HVAC system. Hot and cold spots can also stem from many other reasons:

• Your ductwork isn’t tightly sealed.
• A room addition is placing extra demand on your system.
• Your ductwork or house isn’t well insulated.
• A dirty air filter is blocking proper airflow.
• Your thermostat is malfunctioning or in the wrong location.
• Your HVAC system doesn’t allow for zoning.

What Is Zoning?

Zoning is the ability to maintain different temperatures in different “zones” throughout your home. A zoned HVAC system allows you to set one temperature for the bedroom and another for the family room.
