The AC appears to be working normally, and there\u2019s cool air coming out of it, but the whole house isn\u2019t getting the amount of cooling it\u2019s supposed to. This uneven cooling can mean some rooms are too hot, usually rooms more distant from the center of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good central AC is supposed to cool the entire house\u2014it\u2019s designed and sized for that purpose. If you got an AC that can\u2019t evenly cool your home, there are several possibilities that may require replacing the air conditioner or, in most cases, calling our team for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jncomfort.com\/service-areas\/hartwell-ga-air-conditioning-heating-electrical\">air conditioning repair in Hartwell, GA<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The AC is too small<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is a new air conditioning installation, then the problem may be that whoever installed the system in the first place put in a unit without enough cooling power to cool the whole house. Amateur installers often make this mistake because they don\u2019t do the proper sizing steps. Unfortunately, if this is the case, the only solution is to have the entire unit replaced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The air filter is too dirty<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a much simpler problem, and it\u2019s one you can solve on your own. Check the blower filter for your HVAC system: that\u2019s the filter that\u2019s either behind the return air vent cover in the house or in a slot between where the ductwork meets the blower in the HVAC cabinet. This filter will get clogged after one to three months, and this will make it hard for the AC to cool enough air. Put in a clean filter to see if this fixes the trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Leaks in the air ducts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The issue may come from the ductwork rather than the AC itself. Ductwork can suffer damage over the years from aging, construction, humidity, and even insects and vermin. Any air leaks will allow cooled air to escape before reaching the rooms, causing the uneven heating you\u2019re experiencing. To solve this problem requires calling for professionals to test the ducts and then seal up any holes to restore the airtight seal of the ventilation system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Malfunctioning blower<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The blower is the fan responsible for the circulation of air through the HVAC system. It draws air through the return air ducts and then pushes this warm air over the evaporator coil to cool it and then into the supply ducts to the rooms. If the blower malfunctions and starts to slow down or turn on and off at the wrong times, it will create uneven cooling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dying air conditioner<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An AC that\u2019s coming near to the end of its service life will often struggle to reach its usual cooling capacity. If your air conditioning system is more than 15 years old, then uneven cooling often means that the system is ready to retire. You don\u2019t have to make the decision on your own: talk to our technicians and they\u2019ll give your AC a thorough check to see if it\u2019s time to replace it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>JN Electrical Temperature Control, Inc works hard to ensure customer satisfaction with custom comfort solutions. <\/strong><a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Call us to solve your home cooling problems.<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A good central AC is supposed to cool the entire house\u2014it\u2019s designed and sized for that purpose. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[39,132,93],"vertical":[],"segment":[],"service":[],"class_list":["post-969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-air-conditioning-service","tag-ac-repair","tag-air-conditioning-repair","tag-hartwell"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jncomfort.imarketbeta.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jncomfort.imarketbeta.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jncomfort.imarketbeta.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jncomfort.imarketbeta.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jncomfort.imarketbeta.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=969"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jncomfort.imarketbeta.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":971,"href":"https:\/\/jncomfort.imarketbeta.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969\/revisions\/971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jncomfort.imarketbeta.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jncomfort.imarketbeta.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jncomfort.imarketbeta.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=969"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jncomfort.imarketbeta.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=969"},{"taxonomy":"segment","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jncomfort.imarketbeta.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/segment?post=969"},{"taxonomy":"service","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jncomfort.imarketbeta.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service?post=969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
