Your AC unit is pumping out cold air, but your house is still hot. Why is this happening? Let’s take a look at four of the most common reasons why your house remains hot while the AC is clearly working.
Potential AC Problems
It is quite possible that this may be happening due to an AC issue. Below are two of the most common problems with the unit itself.
Size Of The AC Unit
An AC system that is too small will have issues cooling the entire area, as needed. A unit that is too large, however, may cool the air before it removes the humidity properly. Thankfully, you can calculate the exact size of the AC unit you need based on your home’s square footage and a few other variables.
Leaky Ducts
Your ducts are another area to inspect if this issue pops up inside the home. It could be due to leaky ducts that ultimately prevent cool air from reaching every room in the home. Uneven heating throughout the home is the number one indicator of leaky ducts.
Issues With The House
Something in your home could be interfering with your AC system, causing it to be less efficient overall. Let’s take a look at some common problems.
Lack Of Shade
Shade is a big factor to consider with heat and humidity present in the home. Some household heating issues can be solved by simply planting a tree in the ideal spot outside. When excess sun beats down on the home, it counteracts the AC. This makes it nearly impossible for the AC to keep up with efficient cooling needs.
Improper Insulation
A lack of insulation and leaks can cause your home to feel too hot. Improper insulation and air leaks often result in overheating. An excess of outside humidity and blocked vents can also be responsible for this issue.
