If each room in your home is being cooled unevenly, then you should make the following considerations. Checking your air filter for dirt may be the cause of uneven cooling in your home. Another reason for uneven cooling can be due to dirty air vents or problems in the ductwork. Try to keep your vents clean and clear to reduce pollutants and keep your AC functioning properly. Another reason for uneven cooling is insufficient insulation in your attic. Inadequate insulation may cause lower floors to have uneven cooling.
There are 3 main types of air conditioners. Packaged air conditioners, split systems, and ductless air conditioners.
Your air conditioner size is important when it comes to the cooling efficiency of your home. A small air conditioner will struggle to cool your home on hot Summer days while a large air conditioner will cycle on and off wasting power and raising your energy bill.
You can start saving money on your energy bills by installing a smart thermostat to control your air conditioner. This can help you cool your home before you arrive and manage your power bill. Another way to save money is to install a ceiling fan. Ceiling fans can move air and make you feel cooler without lowering the temperature of the room. You should also periodically check your air conditioner’s filters for dirt and keep them clean.
A new central air conditioner is a big investment and to ensure you are making the right choice you should check your unique needs.

Keep leaves and debris away from your central air conditioner so it doesn’t get clogged or blocked. You should also make sure grills and vents in your home are not blocked so air pressure doesn’t build up and cause failure in your air conditioning unit. A programmable thermostat can also help reduce usage when cooling isn’t needed.

An average central air conditioning unit can last upwards of 20 years. While air conditioners from 10 years ago may not be as efficient as newer models, some air conditioners can effectively cool your home for over 30 years.
Newer air conditioners are much quieter than older generation air conditioners. Depending on the model of your air conditioner, you might not hear any noise at all.
The most common cause of a leaking air conditioner is frozen evaporator coils. A dirty air conditioning filter can cause your coils to freeze even during hot Summer months. Another cause of a leaking air conditioner is a full or cracked drain pan.
