Blackhawk, CA
Are you experiencing a cold room even though your house is warm? We are fortunate to live in the San Ramon Valley, where we have nice warm California weather. Recently, we’ve been getting some cold weather and a much needed traditional winter. With that comes along colder days and nights. There may be some simple DIY fixes. If you can’t fix the problem, you may have to hire a professional. Check out the information below on some suggestions and like always, if you need a referral, Contact Us
There May Be A Simple DIY Fix:
- If the room has a draft, try hanging drapes or installing caulk or weather stripping.
- Make sure the vent isn’t blocked by furniture. Vacuum the inside and clean the grate.
- Replace your HVAC filter regularly. A dirty filter can restrict airflow.
- If possible, adjust the dampers on your HVAC system to send enough heat to each room.
If You Can’t Fix The Problem, You May Have To Hire A Professional.
- If a window is old and damaged, it may need to be replaced.
- If you suspect that there are rodents living in the ductwork, hire a pest control company.
- If you believe the air ducts may be damaged or poorly installed, contact an HVAC company.
- If you think inadequate insulation is the culprit, have a contractor install more insulation.
