Hot and cold spots in your home can be an annoyance to put it nicely. They can be uncomfortable, but what’s worse is that they could point to problems with your heating and cooling system. You may need air conditioner service and GV Heating & Air is ready to help you, but we’ve got some things you can think about before we come out.
Hot and cold spots may indicate you have an ineffective number of cold air return vents or it might require something as simple as unblocking a blocked air vent. All you’ll need to do is walk through your home and discover if anything is blocking any of your vents. If you find that you have a vent or two obscured by furniture or your child has dropped clothes in front of one, you’re not getting the most from your heating and cooling system.
If the problem is something more significant like needing more cold air return vents, you should ask an expert—whether during a routine air conditioner service appointment or if you call about this issue specifically. It’s amazing how many homes have only a single cold air return. This may not be going to keep your home evenly heated or cooled.
What can you do?
- Think about the layouts of the rooms that have hot and cold spots. Even if vents aren’t directly blocked, the arrangement of furniture in each room could be hindering continuous airflow throughout that room.
- Call GV Heating & Air to have a professional duct system analysis, so we can discover what’s causing your hot and cold spots. We can give you recommendations and help you resolve any problems we identify.
- Have an expert clean your ducts to make a noticeable improvement to your home’s comfort. This may not solve all of your issues with hot and cold spots, but you may see a big improvement once your vents are cleared out.
Hot and cold spots shouldn’t be making your home uncomfortable and your HVAC system inefficient. If you’ve found hot and cold spots in your home, call GV Heating & Air in Crystal and Twin Cities to arrange for air conditioner service. Call 763-535-2000 or set up an appointment today.*
