Dealing with Uneven Home Cooling Concerns
Posted On: September 28, 2017
If you live in a multi-story home and you notice uneven home cooling, you are not alone.
When you have invested in central air conditioning, you probably expected that the system would cool the entirety of your home. However, over time, there are factors including ductwork issues, dirty filters, and even system age that can reduce the central air conditioning system’s ability to cool every part of your house evenly.
Here are some simple ways on how you can address the problem of uneven home cooling:
Switch the Fan to “On”
Check your thermostat. The fan switch can be toggled from “auto” and “on”. There are modern thermostats with a few other fan control settings, too. If you have uneven cooling at home, try turning the switch to “on”. This way, the system’s fan stays on and circulates the air, helping to even out temperatures between floors. (Note, however, that depending on the kind of furnace blower that you have, running the fan will add a little to your electricity bill.)
Use Air Vents to Control Air
Check if you have dirty vents that are blocked. Your vents and registers contribute to uneven cooling if there’s furniture blocking them. This may also be the case if there are dirt and debris building up. You can try vacuuming them using an attachment to remove the debris.
Redirect air to some areas by partially closing some vents on the first floor. More air will redirect to the second floor and this will alleviate pressure build up in the system.
Check for Air Leaks in the Ducts
When there’s an air leak within the duct system, the air that should be for a specific destination bleeds off before it can even arrive. Holes, leaks, and tears in your ducts can make your central air system work harder to compensate for that missing air. Of course, that would lead to even more problems. If this is the case, call TwinTech Heating and Cooling immediately to inspect your ducts.
Add Attic Insulation
Your insulation in the attic both keeps the hot air outside from getting in and keeps your cool air in the house from escaping. Without the proper amount or good quality of insulation, it’s possible that you are not getting the full benefit of valuable cool air. Make sure that you have the proper amount of insulation in your attic.
Is Your AC System Delivering Even Cooling?
Uneven cooling is indicative of a problem. You can take the steps mentioned above, or call a professional to diagnose the problem correctly. You might also be needing a replacement system. If yours is over ten years old, it’s possible that it’s losing efficiency and causing problems.

I had them replace my furnace last year. When it came time for the air conditioner this year, I did not hesitate to call Twintech again. I will also have them perform regular maintenance on them.

system for 18 years.

covered all the necessary items.
Installation was fast and very tidy. Everything works as
it should. Our thanks to Greg, Mitch and others for their

anyone else, considering HVAC or other work.

I needed a new furnace and A/C to replace my 21 yr. old units, and went to the internet to view potential companies in May, I received 3 quotes,
and chose Twintech based on their salesman Dave who was very detailed and covered off everything on what Twintech was all about,
an extremely dedicated company with so many years of experience, and after reading the on line reviews I was sold on Twintech, who did not disappoint as the installation team were top notch with Greg leading,
I would highly recommend this company without any doubts, in my books they are first class all the way. Our new Amana furnace and A/C are working perfectly !

This review is late coming so my apologies to the amazing Twin Tech team! I contacted Dave at Twin Tech for a quote this past Feb (as I was collecting a few) and his recommendation was excellent. From the first meeting with Dave to the team installing the new furnace, not once did i feel uncomfortable . The team were extremely professional yet personable and clean and tidy. Decent companies still exist!
The new furnace just purrs and its just amazing the difference it has made!
(PS my sibling ended up getting a furnace from them as well)

Dave our salesperson was easy to talk to and was professional. The unit recommended meets our needs and budget.
Greg and his team arrived on time for the installation and even got rid of the garbage the contractors left in our furnace.
Would definitely recommend Twintech.
