My brood is making do with the spare room, but I am anxious to understand why the coolness refuses to be driven away. I have tried cranking up the thermostat and even moved the chairs that were blocking the registers. The return airway is sufficient and the filters and vents are clean too. And yet, the problem continues to linger!
I was piqued completely and checked with my regularly remodeling contractor – Landmark Construction Crew. I informed them that I had already checked and sealed all leaks in the ducts. The ducts were properly insulated and as the room is under the attic, I had ensured that it stayed insulated and protected. Even the doors and windows had sufficient caulking and weather stripping.
One of the members helpfully pointed out that the problem could be with the air duct installation. He said that while leaks and poor insulation generally tend to affect the heating efficiency, other obscure issues such as thin ducts or even inadequate supply ducts could be rendering the room as ‘hard to cool’.
Further inspection revealed that sufficient heat was actually not able to reach the room an undersized ductwork was the root problem. The Landmark experts calculated and designed the required ducting and now the kids are back to prancing around and littering in their favorite room!
