Global warming is a hot topic these days, and it can feel much the same way if your heating and cooling your Batavia home isn’t working. Does it feel warm in some spots and ice cold in others? There shouldn’t be that much of a temperature difference from one room to another. Read on to learn a few ways to solve inconsistent home heating or cooling.
Use the Air Vents
Are the vents in your home dirty or blocked? This may be the biggest reason for uneven air distribution throughout your house. You may be able to redirect the air by partially closing vents in rooms that aren’t being used. This will help move more air to the rooms you’re using.
Make Sure the Fan is On
When the fan is set to “On” rather than “Auto”, it stays on and circulates air, even if the cooling cycle switches off. With a fan set to “On”, air is continually moved and the temperature stays consistent. However, if the system is set to “Auto”, the fan will only run during heating or cooling.
Insulate the Attic
The attic’s insulation helps to keep the home’s temperature at a reasonable level. However, if the attic doesn’t have enough insulation, it may let conditioned air out, or it may let outdoor air in.
Use a Zoning System
While a zoned HVAC system is a big investment, it’s an efficient way to deal with inconsistent cooling. With zoned systems, you can control the indoor temperature in different parts of the home.
