Galaxy Services – HVAC Experts Serving the Bay Area
If some rooms in your home are freezing while others feel like a sauna, you’re not alone. Uneven temperatures, also known as hot and cold spots, are one of the most common comfort complaints from homeowners in the Bay Area.
But don’t worry, there are reliable, HVAC-friendly solutions that can make every room feel just right.
❓ What Causes Uneven Temperatures in a Home?
Hot and cold spots can result from several HVAC-related issues, including:
- Poor ductwork design or leaks
- Aging or oversized HVAC equipment
- Lack of zoning or smart controls
- Blocked or dirty air vents
- Inadequate insulation or sealing
Whether you have a central air conditioning system, ducted heat pump, or a gas furnace, these problems can throw off airflow and comfort.
✅ Top Solutions to Eliminate Hot & Cold Spots
1. Balance and Seal Your Ductwork
Leaky or unbalanced ducts are a major source of comfort issues. At Galaxy Services, we perform duct pressure testing and airflow balancing to ensure even distribution. We can also seal or redesign your ductwork to eliminate inefficiencies.
2. Install a Zoning System
HVAC zoning divides your home into separate climate areas, each with its own thermostat. This allows you to control temperatures independently in places like upstairs bedrooms or living rooms. Pair it with a smart thermostat for precise comfort.
3. Upgrade to a Variable-Speed HVAC System
Unlike older systems that simply turn on and off, variable-speed heat pumps and air conditioners adjust gradually to maintain consistent comfort. This helps prevent temperature swings and keeps air moving evenly throughout your home.
4. Consider a Ductless Mini-Split for Trouble Areas
If one room, like a garage conversion or sunroom, is always too hot or cold, a ductless mini-split heat pump can provide zoned heating and cooling without touching your existing HVAC system.
5. Check Insulation and Window Sealing
Even the best HVAC system can’t overcome poor insulation. Hot and cold spots may be caused by air leaks, old windows, or poor attic insulation. We often recommend a home energy audit as part of your HVAC consultation.

💡 HVAC Comfort Tip:
Don’t ignore hot and cold spots. They often indicate a bigger issue with airflow, system sizing, or duct performance, which can drive up your energy bills and wear out your HVAC equipment faster.
