One of the most frustrating problems is having comfort issues with a particular room in your home. These are rooms that you can NEVER get quite cool enough no matter how hard you try.
In order to fix the problem, you must first ask, “What exactly IS the problem”?
Keep the heat out – We want to STOP heat from entering so we don’t have to deal with it in the first place. Start with the windows. If a window catches direct sun you need to shade the window. Solar screens, window film, awnings or natural shade (trees) will all help – take your pick.
Radiant barrier foil should be applied above and around any problem rooms. Ceilings should be sealed airtight and have plenty of insulation and ductwork should be checked for leaks or constrictions.
Pull MORE heat out! If you have done everything to keep the heat out and you still can’t stay comfortable, then the only other option is to pull more heat out. This usually requires the expertise of a good air conditioning contractor. You could need larger ducts, more ducts, additional return vents or a combination of these.
Most times than not Radiant Barrier and Insulation along with proper ventilation will do the job!
