There’s a room in our house that always seems to be either too warm or too cold.
Our bedroom feels like a blast furnace on summer afternoons when the sun is coming in the back windows.
I think that in a perfect world, contractors and architects would also be HVAC specialists. But unfortunately, in the real world, HVAC systems in homes have to make do with all kinds of design, construction, and climate factors in your home. Since temperature differences of up to four degrees from room to room aren’t really that uncommon, it’s surprising when you end up with a room like our bedroom that’s always uncomfortably hot! Having an overheated room like ours can be caused by all kinds of factors, like insulation problems, air duct issues, poor ventilation duct design, too much sun, or even a failure of your heating and cooling system. When we decided that we had enough of the overheating of our bedroom, we called our local HVAC company to come and check it out. An HVAC specialist came out and used this special HVAC diagnostic equipment to detect some air duct leakage in our HVAC system. He repaired the ventilation system for us and now the extra unwanted heating in our bedroom is a thing of the past! If you’re having trouble heating or cooling a certain room in your house, call an HVAC professional. There might be an easy fix for your problem, and you can end up saving lots of money on your heating and cooling bills, too. It can’t hurt to give it a shot!
