Why is there one room that’s never the same temperature as the rest of my house?

Multiple floors/levels

Whether it is a 70s era split-level or a brand-new two-story home, keeping the upper levels the same temperature as the lower levels has always been a challenge in Troy, Ohio. That is due to the physics of rising heat as well as the challenges of delivering conditioned air through longer sections of ductwork.

Ducting/venting issues

A long duct run, ductwork traveling through uninsulated areas (like an attic), or not enough return air vents are three typical examples of ducting/venting issues that may not deliver as much heating or cooling as the space requires.

Oversized or undersized system

Properly sizing a heating and cooling system or A/C unit isn’t an exact science, and when it’s not done right, you can have serious comfort issues. An oversized central air system will turn on, then shut down quickly leaving some areas still too hot or cold. An undersized air conditioning system will just run and run and may never make you comfortable.

Renovations & room additions

A home remodel can change the effectiveness of your heating and cooling system, especially if walls are added or removed. Adding a room means a need for added heating and cooling capacity, which your hvac system may not be adequately sized to handle.

Location and usage

A room with southern exposure and lots of windows might generate a lot of extra heat. A finished basement might be cool and clammy. Or a room with computer server and additional heat-generating electronics can add to your home’s comfort needs.

What is the Solution?

You may be able to overcome some of these issues with fans, portable heaters, portable air conditioners, window coverings and the like, but finding a more permanent solution may require a call to the indoor comfort experts – Carrier.

Whether it’s creating a zoned system with separate temperature control upstairs and down, redesigning your ductwork, or, in the case of sizing issues, potentially replacing existing equipment, Choice Comfort Services can offer a number of solutions for creating a more consistently comfortable indoor environment.
