Do you feel like some rooms in your home are always too hot or too cold no matter what you set the thermostat to? These temperature imbalances could mean there’s something wrong with your HVAC system. Here are some rooms that often run into temperature imbalances and what you can do about it.

Rooms With Irregular Temperatures

In a well-balanced HVAC system, every room in your house would get to the same temperature at the same time. When there are imbalances, however, some rooms may feel uncomfortably warm or cold.  

HVAC systemTake an attic, for example. When cool air travels through ductwork in an area that doesn’t receive air conditioning, it can build up heat. These ducts will leave the attic warm because it’s too far from your cooling system. Upstairs bedrooms may also experience temperature imbalances because heat moves from lower to higher levels.

Meanwhile, basements typically feel cooler than the rest of the home. While this can be refreshing on a hot summer day, it’s problematic in the winter months. Basements may have poor insulation and insufficient ductwork.

How a Ductless HVAC System Can Help

A ductless HVAC system consists of a wall-mounted indoor unit and an outside compressor. The system shifts heat between outdoor and indoor air by compressing and expanding the refrigerant. 

Ductless units are ideal for homes that weren’t built with air ducts in the walls to push hot or cold air. Instead, a contractor will run thin refrigerant lines from the outdoor condenser to the indoor units. You can install up to eight units in zones in your house and control the temperatures separately in every room for maximum comfort.
