If you find that one room in your house is cooler than others (and not on purpose) you may have an air duct balancing issue. There are some things you can do on your own to investigate the source of the issue.
First, make sure all your vents are fully open and your furnace filter isn’t dirty.
Second, make sure the windows are completely closed.
Once you’ve eliminated your filter, vents, and windows as the problem, then it’s time to call a professional to look at your HVAC system.
You may have an outdated HVAC and it’s time to replace your unit.
If you need to replace your HVAC system, consider a ductless split system. Ductless systems are different from traditional HVAC systems, in that it uses one pump to heat and cool your home. Ductwork is messy and expensive. If you can avoid ductwork, you should.
Ductless systems are designed to help you enjoy your home and feel more comfortable in it year-round. For instance, with a traditional HVAC unit you can’t control if one room in your house is cooler than another, but with a ductless split system you can.
You have the ability to set the temperature for each room or zone in the house. If an area in your home is used less often, you have the option to turn off the system for that room. Split systems are more affordable and energy efficient for this reason. They transfer heat instead of generating it, resulting in 60% less energy used than a traditional HVAC.
Leveraging the Mitsubishi technology, our systems at Geiler are 40% more efficient than traditional systems.
