Your house is haunted. Yep, those hot and cold spots are sure signs of ghosts.
However, if you aren’t quite ready to buy into paranormal remedies, you might try a complete home comfort inspection from ARS.
There are several of-this-world factors that could be in play with hot and cold spots. One thing to determine is whether your HVAC unit is properly sized versus the space being heated/cooled. How many vents and where they are placed is another factor as is the actual configuration of the ductwork in your home. Insulation levels, placement of doors and windows and even the physical position of your home and surrounding trees also weigh in to the solution.
In an attempt to combat the problem, many new homes are actually being built with zoned temperature controls. Using multiple thermostats and damper controls, each room and area in a home can be heated or cooled individually.
Retrofitting an older home with such a system may very well help eliminate spotty comfort. Yet without assessing all factors, it’s practically impossible to create a sure-fire solution.
The good news is that your ARS comfort specialist is prepared to consider all options and make a recommendation that makes the most sense for your situation. Call us today to find out more.
