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.

We wanted to get our AC replaced as it was 22-years old and added to this our furnace was costing more and more to repair. So, we decided to get both the furnace and AC replaced.
After going through a few quotes and product reviews we decided to go with Twintech. The three-men crew arrived early in the morning, wasted no time and got to work right away. By 2:00 pm, they were all done. Ive found their work to be top notch and they were completely professional. I had all my questions answered to my satisfaction both during the progress of their work and at end.
I have pleasure in recommending Twintech to anyone who is looking to get their furnace or Ac replaced

Our air conditioner died On a Saturday and within hours Dave came out to take a look and discuss replacement/repair options.
The new air conditioner was installed on the Wednesday. The new unit was installed quickly. The installers were friendly and cleaned up afterwards.
We noticed a slight leak around the furnace that night and they came out the next day and fixed the issue. It has been working great and is quieter than our previous unit.
Very satisfied and would highly recommend TwinTech.

I contacted TwinTech to replace my 20-year old A/C. Dave, their service rep, promptly replied and was at my home within 2 hours. He was friendly and knowledgeable and didn't try to upgrade or oversell their A/C units but suggested the best fit for my small 1000 feet bungalow. Although this was during a heatwave and very busy, they were able to fit me in 2 days later. The TwinTech crew installed a 1.5 ton Ducane A/C unit that is now running smoothly while maintaining a constant cooling temperature. The crew were very courteous, professional and efficient and I will definitely recommend TwinTech to family and friends. I much appreciated your great service.

TwinTech was a pleasure to deal with from the estimate through installation. We replaced a 28 year old a/c unit with one recommended by TwinTech's sales representative Dave who took the time to go over the product with us and answer any questions. The warranty is for 10 years parts and labour and they will complete the registration for you. Installation was by Greg (owner) and Mitch and Spencer who were quick and efficient and left everything clean and tidy.

Very professional, from the sales consultation and inspection to the final installation. Met every expectations we had for the job. A local business with great client support. We highly recommend. Twintech is a blue chip! Thanks!

I left a live chat message on their website that my air conditioning was not working. Within 1hr a representative called me to discuss my options.
The next day he came to the house to review my needs and give me a price for a new system. Price quoted was less than I expected and the installation was completed the following day. I found their salesman and the installers very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. All my questions were answered. Everything was properly explained in regards to what unit was needed and why, along with instruction where needed for use.
The installers made sure everything was working properly before they left.

This is to thank Twintech Heating and Cooling for their exceptional and timely service. Mitch, their technician was very courteous and generous with his time right from his first meeting with us. He not only took the time to check everything but also educated us on why we needed what he recommended. Greg and Mitch graciously accommodated us on our requested day and time for job to be done. They were both very courteous and responsive to our needs and special requests especially in a tight spot. The job was finished neatly and on time. Thank you Twintech for your great service !
