We get this call all the time:
“Our AC is working in some rooms, but the bedrooms just won’t cool down!”
Trust me, you’re not alone—and the good news is, there are several common (and fixable) reasons why this happens.
Here’s what I’d recommend as your local HVAC expert and neighbor here in Conroe:
🔎 Step 1: Check the Basics
Before calling in the pros, do a quick check on the most common culprits:
-
✅ Thermostat Settings: Make sure it’s set to Auto (not On), and the temp is consistent with your comfort level.
-
✅ Vents: Are they open and unblocked in each bedroom?
-
✅ Filters: A dirty air filter can restrict airflow throughout the house.
-
✅ Doors & Windows: Closed bedroom doors and drafty windows can trap warm air.
These small issues can make a big difference in how air flows throughout your home.
🧰 Step 2: Look for Uneven Airflow
If the basics check out, you may have a system imbalance. Common issues include:
-
❌ Ductwork Leaks: Cool air could be escaping before it reaches the bedrooms.
-
❌ Zoning Problems: Without zoning, your system may struggle to balance airflow evenly.
-
❌ Improperly Sized Unit: If your AC is too small, it may not reach the far corners of your home.
-
❌ Insulation Issues: Poor attic or wall insulation can lead to uneven temperatures.
🛠️ What We Do to Fix It
When you call Affordable Air Repair, here’s how we approach the problem:
-

-
Check for leaks, blockages, or equipment performance issues
-
Evaluate your home’s layout to determine if zoning or dampers are needed

💡 Pro Tip: Consider AC Zoning
If some rooms are always hotter or colder than others, a zoned HVAC system might be your long-term solution. Zoning allows for independent temperature control in different parts of your home—perfect for multi-story houses or larger floor plans.
