Don’t Let Inconsistent Temperatures Be An Issue

Inconsistent Temperatures Can Be A Problem

When it’s cold outside, then it’s completely understandable that those living in a Winston-Salem home will want the home to have consistent temperatures in each room, even if it’s just a single person living in the home.

If one room has high temperatures while another room has a significantly different temperature, then there may be several problems.

A home should keep temperatures somewhat consistent, even though there are many things that can fluctuate the temperature in a room.

Even with a properly running HVAC unit or furnace, turning the light on, running electronics or opening a door to a room can all affect the temperature in the room.

With so many things that can affect a room’s temperature, it will never be possible to make every room temperature the same, but it’s feasible to make the temperature consistent in each room, especially with a good working furnace or HVAC unit.

Why The Temperatures Are Different

If you’re experiencing different temperatures in each room, then there may be a few causes of this. It’s possible that the thermostat was installed in the wrong place and is getting warmth from the sunlight outside, or possibly an air vent is blowing warm air towards the thermostat, which will allow the thermostat to think that the room is getting warmer than it actually is.

The thermostat will then cut off, leaving the room at a cooler temperature. If the room where the thermostat is in isn’t getting warmed properly, then it’s unlikely that the other rooms are getting warm either.

Another thing to consider is that the air distribution is unbalanced because of the short cycling of the air that’s being forced throughout the Winston-Salem home.

This can be a possible reason for inconsistent temperatures, and it’s also something that can cost you money in the end. Another thing to consider is a defective thermostat, which can rarely be fixed and may just need a total replacement.

A Repair Person Can Help

Although having inconsistent temperatures in each room isn’t always a sign of a malfunctioning furnace or HVAC unit, it’s always a good idea to have a repair person come out to check the system to ensure that it’s functioning properly.

Mention the problem to the repair person, and the problem can be researched to see if a thermostat replacement or other replacements are necessary for the furnace or HVAC unit.
