A benefit of a central cooling system is that it distributes chilled air evenly through the home. When your unit doesn't do its job, it may need professional air conditioning service. Here's what can cause uneven cooling, and ways of correcting the problems.  

3 Reasons Why You Experience Uneven Air Conditioning

1. Aging System 

A properly maintained central heating and cooling system has a useful life of about 15 years. An older system gradually loses its ability to keep spaces cool. As a result, the farther a room is from the unit, the hotter it is. If some of your rooms are warmer than others and your system's age is in the double digits, replacing it might be the best way to solve the problem.

2. Clogged Air Filter or Vent

Your HVAC system includes vents that allow air to circulate and a filter that traps contaminants in the air, such as dust, pollen, and pet dander. When contaminant buildup clogs the air filter or blockages stop proper airflow, some rooms get too hot. Ensuring vents are not blocked by items, such as furniture or drapes, as well as checking and changing filters every 30 days, keeps the system running well. If uneven cooling continues, you may need air conditioning service.  

3. Air Duct Leaks 

HVAC systems transport pressurized air through ductwork, which must remain airtight. If the ducts leak cool air, the pressure drops and diverts cool air from rooms, making them hotter. When an air conditioning service technician conducts a system inspection, they will discover duct leaks or other cooling problems and advise you on the best methods to correct them.
