If you've ever walked into one room of your house and felt like it was a lot warmer than the others, you're not alone. Many homeowners experience this issue and it’s not ideal, especially during the summer.
There are a few reasons why this might happen, and Seiter Services is going to discuss them in this blog. We'll also provide some tips on how to fix the problem.
Blocked or Closed Vents
One of the most common reasons why one room in your house might be warmer than others is because of closed or blocked vents. If there are vents in the room that are closed, it's not going to get as much airflow. This can cause the room to feel warmer than other rooms in your house. If you’ve recently moved some furniture around, make sure there is nothing blocking your vents.
Dirty Air Filter
Another reason why this might happen is because of a dirty air filter. A dirty air filter can restrict airflow and cause your home to feel warmer. If you think this might be the problem, try changing your air filter and see if that makes a difference. All you have to do is head over to your local home improvement store and find the correct air filter for your system. Make sure you double check the sizing of your current filter to ensure you buy the right one.
Leaking Air Ducts
Another reason why one room in your house might feel warmer than others is because of leaking air ducts. If there are any leaks in your ductwork, it can cause the room to feel warmer. This is because the air is not being distributed evenly throughout your home. If you think this might be the problem, you should contact Seiter Services at (937) 507-3372 to come and take a look.
