Do you have rooms in your home that never seem to stay cool, no matter how high you crank the AC? Many homeowners in the Topsfield, Newburyport, and Seabrook, NH areas battle uneven temperatures, especially during the summer.

Here’s why it happens, and how a targeted AC or heat pump installation from Kearney HVAC can solve the problem for good.

Common Reasons Your Home Has Hot Spots

AC Issues
Blocked vents, leaky ductwork, or an undersized air conditioner can all prevent cool air from reaching every room. Preventative tune-ups and AC repair offer solutions, but sometimes an AC replacement is the better option.
Improper Thermostat Placement
If your thermostat is in a cool spot or near a draft, your system may shut off before the rest of the house is comfortable. Consider relocating your thermostat or upgrading to a smart thermostat for better control.
Excess Heat Gain
Rooms with lots of sunlight, poor insulation, or large windows can heat up quickly. Adding insulation or window treatments can help, but sometimes you need a targeted cooling solution for reliable comfort.
New Home Additions
Have you recently added a sunroom, finished an attic, or built a room addition? If your central AC’s ductwork doesn’t reach these areas, they’ll be hotter than the rest of your home.

Solutions: Central AC vs. Ductless Heat Pumps

Both central AC installation and mini split heat pumps are effective options when solving uneven temperatures in hard-to-cool rooms. Here’s how they compare.

Central Air Conditioning

If your home has existing ductwork in good condition, upgrading or replacing your central air conditioning system can deliver whole-home comfort and improved energy efficiency. Modern central AC units and central heat pumps are quieter, more energy efficient, and better at maintaining even temperatures throughout your living spaces.

Ductless Mini Split Heat Pumps

For homes without ductwork, problem rooms, or new additions, ductless mini splits offer targeted, zoned comfort. These systems are easy to install, require no ductwork, and allow you to control the temperature in individual rooms. Mini splits can also help improve indoor air quality and, because they both heat and cool, provide year-round comfort.
