Complications with uneven temperatures and poor air quality
If you are experiencing different temperatures with multiple floors, you likely have an air balance issue. Since heat rises, it is actually ideal to have a zoned HVAC system with at least two different thermostats for customized temperature control settings on each floor. Some people would prefer to have more than two zones while for others, this is the perfect solution for their uneven temperatures. Having multiple zones in your home with customized temperature control is an ideal solution as naturally, your energy bills will become less costly. This is especially true if you choose to only have the temperature control settings just right in particular zones that you are occupying. There can also be other issues with even temperatures though. You might have leakage in your ductwork system. If this is the case, you will want to have a professional come out to check on everything. Typically the HVAC professional will run an air pressure test to make sure everything is up to speed. Even if you don’t have leakage coming from the ductwork, you might have a ductwork system that is entirely clogged up with dirt and debris. This is why it is important to have ductwork cleaning regularly. Most people get by with having the ductwork done every other year, but some might want to have it done more often depending on if you have animals or if you live in an area with poor air quality. If you do have poor air quality, the best thing you can do is install an air purification system, change your air filters often, and have the ductwork cleaned regularly.
