Winter isn’t a particularly comfortable time of the year for many homeowners in our area–at least, not without a fully functional and efficiently operating heater. If you detect cold spots in your home, for example, it means something is amiss with your heating system. While this isn’t necessarily an emergency, it is a nuisance, and is probably contributing to wasted energy—and subsequent higher energy bills.
If you do notice cold spots, you likely noticed hot spots during the summer, which is a bit more common of a complaint. Homeowners usually blast their AC systems and feel more comfortable, but still notice a room or two that is warmer than the rest of the house. Sound familiar? Read on! We’ve gone into details below about how these form, what sort of problem they cause, and what you can do about them.
