You don\u2019t want it to act like a space heater, a tiny unit that heats up one spot and nothing else. If you walk through your home and it feels like you\u2019re using multiple space heaters\u2014some not even working\u2014to get your house warm instead of a powerful central system, then you may have a problem. The heater might be faulty, or the trouble could stem from defects in your house\u2019s insulation. The uneven heating might be a simple mistake you can remedy in minutes.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll walk you through some culprits that can create cold rooms in your home even with a powerful heating system at work. Call the Fairfax, VA heating experts today at OASIS Heating, Air Conditioning &amp; Refrigeration, Inc. if you need additional help with cold spots.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Blocked or closed vents:<\/b> If you have centralized air providing heat, make sure that the vents in the chilly rooms are open. Vents near the floor might have accidentally become blocked by a rug or a shifted piece of furniture.<\/li>\n<li><b>Thermostats issues:<\/b> Zone heating in homes is a great way to conserve money, but it isn\u2019t hard to set one of the multiple thermostats incorrectly. Make sure all the thermostats are programmed to the temperature you want. If one of the thermostats malfunctions, then you\u2019ll need professional assistance.<\/li>\n<li><b>Heat leaks:<\/b> The cold rooms may have spots where valuable heat escapes outside. Check the seals around windows or any door to the outside. The trouble might be deteriorating insulation, which will need replacement.<\/li>\n<li><b>Heater is too small:<\/b> If you picked out your heater on your own without help, or relied on an amateur or inexperienced installer to pick it, you may have a heater too small to do the job of warming your whole home. Contact a reliable and respected HVAC company to inspect your house and determine its heat requirements. You may need to have the heater replaced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cold spots don\u2019t have to mean an emergency\u2014but they can warn you that something isn\u2019t right. Don\u2019t decide to \u201cjust live with it\u201d and stay clear of the chilly rooms until spring.
