3 Reasons Your AC Isn’t Cooling Your Home Evenly

Sometimes, you may notice some rooms in your home are cool whereas others are relatively warm. This could confuse you because the air conditioner is still running. Here are a few reasons why your AC might fail to cool your Kiawah Island, SC evenly.

1. Some Appliances in Your Home Are to Blame

Some areas in your house may be warmer than others. This scenario may come about due to some home appliances emitting heat, such as the water heater and the oven. It may be difficult for the AC to cool areas near these appliances.

Proper insulation can help reduce the amount of heat that the water heater releases into your indoor air. A service technician can help you come up with the best solution after they analyze the situation.

2. You Have a Clogged Filter

A clogged filter presents multiple problems to your AC system, including increased repairs, frozen coils and high energy bills. In addition, the dirty filter causes uneven cooling in your home.

When dirt and debris clog this vital AC component, it cannot allow sufficient air to pass through. As a result, very little air is available for the air conditioner to circulate in your home, and you end up with rooms that are cooler than others.

Consider changing your filter often in the cooling season. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends once every 30-60 days.

3. You have Blocked Vents

Blocked vents can prevent the even distribution of cooled air in your home. You may have unknowingly blocked your home’s vents with your furniture. Also, dust may build up on these airways, interfering with their ability to distribute conditioned air.

Consider maintaining a safe distance between your vents and furniture. In addition, you can vacuum off the dust to facilitate unrestricted airflow.
