When your home feels a bit chilly in some rooms and overly warm in others, it can be frustrating to program your HVAC system so that it evens out. You might also wonder how the temperature dips and spikes impact your monthly utility bill. Here is a little more information about what causes uneven temperatures and how you and an HVAC contractor can fix the problem.

What Causes Uneven Home Temperatures?

Improper weather stripping around doors and windows, damaged HVAC systems, and poor insulation can all contribute to fluctuating temperatures. If weather stripping was never properly installed or it is damaged, air can seep in around window seals and door casings.

If there are gaps in the ductwork or damaged vents, the system may not be delivering heated and cooled air to the appropriate places. HVAC systems can also cause uneven home temperatures and stagnation if they aren’t blowing at full capacity and circulating air throughout the house.

How Can You Fix the Problem?

Fortunately, you can find several solutions by working with a home inspector and an HVAC contractor. Home inspectors can use infrared cameras to detect where heated or cooled air escapes your home, helping you to narrow down options for appropriate repairs. HVAC professionals can also repair damaged ductwork, broken air conditioners, and malfunctioning furnaces that aren’t delivering appropriately heated air throughout your house.
