When you run the central air conditioning system in your house, you expect it to provide cool comfort all around the rooms. The rooms on the upper floor may be a bit warmer than the rest, which is a natural result of heat rising. But for the most part, an effective and professionally installed HVAC system will keep even cooling through the home.
But what if it doesn’t? There are situations where you may discover the second floor of your house is overheating, even when the air conditioning system is on. There are a few possibilities for why this happens, and you may need to schedule air conditioning repair in Burlington, NJ from our professionals to fix it and get all parts of your home cool once more. Below we’ll look at some reasons you may have a second floor temperature problem.
Temperatures are dropping as we move into the second half of fall. If you use a heat pump for your household comfort around the year, you may already have switched it over to heating mode for the first time. What happened when you did? If you started receiving warm air from the vents around the rooms (or from wall units if you have a ductless mini-split heat pump), then we can only assume you’re reading this post out of curiosity or maybe to plan ahead. Otherwise, you’re reading this because your heat pump either isn’t putting out enough heat to keep your family warm or it isn’t putting out heat at all. It may even still be sending out cold air. 
The first part of spring is often unpredictable—those April snowstorms the worst! But spring means warmer weather is coming, and hot weather is not far off. This is the best time of year to arrange for professional maintenance for your home’s air conditioning system. A technician comes to your house and inspects the AC, makes adjustments and tune-ups as necessary, and cleans the components that need it. If the technicians spots a repair need, you can have it done early—before summer arrives.
