Uneven heating is a common issue for Wisconsin homeowners, especially in older houses. Cold spots not only create discomfort but also indicate your HVAC system isn’t working efficiently. Here are some strategies to fix this problem:
- Check for blocked vents: Furniture or curtains covering vents can disrupt airflow.
- Use a zoned HVAC system: Zoned systems allow you to control temperatures room by room.
- Balance dampers in the ductwork: Adjust dampers to direct more air to colder areas.
- Install a programmable thermostat: Smart thermostats help maintain consistent temperatures throughout the house.
If you notice consistent uneven heating, it might be time to inspect the ducts or consider upgrading your system.
