Why is one room always hotter than the others?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Uneven temperatures are usually caused by poor insulation, leaky windows or ducts, an undersized or oversized HVAC system, blocked vents, or a room's exposure to afternoon sun. Rooms on the second floor, above garages, or with large west-facing windows are especially prone to overheating. Closing blinds, checking for blocked vents, and having a professional inspect your ductwork and insulation can help identify the root cause.
Why It Matters
Hot and cold spots reduce comfort and can indicate underlying issues with your HVAC system, insulation, or ductwork that waste energy.
