This can be very frustrating however, the good news is it can be fixed. There are many reasons why this happens, but the most common issue is air flow. When an\u00a0HVAC system\u00a0is installed there are a lot of assumptions made and very few checks and balances to ensure the\u00a0<strong>system<\/strong>\u00a0is working properly.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to find an HVAC contractor who is\u00a0<strong>trained<\/strong>, understands how\u00a0<strong>air flow<\/strong>\u00a0works in the home and is able to\u00a0<strong>measure and test<\/strong>. The easiest repair is simply what is called\u00a0air balancing. Dampers should have been installed when the house was built, but unfortunately many homes are lacking them. If your home is missing\u00a0<strong>dampers<\/strong>, they can and will need to be added.<\/p>\n<p>Your contractor will provide what is called a room by room\u00a0<strong>load calculation<\/strong>\u00a0to determine how much air flow is required to the rooms. He or she can then do simple steps to ensure the proper amount of air flow is being directed to each room.<\/p>\n<p>The most important part of testing is to ensure your\u00a0<strong>duct system<\/strong>\u00a0is in good working order. It must be\u00a0sized properly\u00a0and free of any\u00a0duct leakage. Both these problems can rob a home of the\u00a0<strong>precious air<\/strong>\u00a0that is needed to be\u00a0<strong>comfortable<\/strong>. Duct systems can be repaired and sealed to make sure the right amount of airflow is being distributed throughout the house. In some cases it is necessary to replace the entire duct system to guarantee proper sizing, insulation and no duct leaks.\u00a0A good duct system is key to making your home more comfortable and providing your family with the clean healthy air.<\/p>\n<p>And there is another benefit. Unlike any other repair you do in your home, fixing your ducts can actually help\u00a0<strong>pay you back<\/strong>. A good duct system will use\u00a0<strong>less energy<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>save on monthly utility costs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever wondered why some rooms are not as\u00a0comfortable\u00a0as others, and sometimes an entire floor can be\u00a0uncomfortable?
