7 Reasons a South Facing Rooms are Hotter Than the Rest of the House
74Many homeowners find south facing rooms are hotter than others during the day. This is often due to the orientation of the walls. South-facing walls tend to get warmer than north-facing ones, for example. The same is true for east and west-facing walls, depending on which side of the house the sun is on. This can be a problem for bedrooms, which are located on the south side of the house, as people want them to be cool and comfortable at night. Today I want to talk about a few ways to mitigate this problem.
There are several ways that a south-facing room or house can end up scorching hot in the summer:
1. Faulty ductwork
2. Poor duct design
3. Low insulation levels
4. Lack of shade
5. Ineffective windows
6. Age of the house
7. Color of the house
If important rooms of your house face south, you will want to take extra precautions to keep it cooler in the summer. Make sure your ductwork is well-maintained and properly designed, make sure your insulation levels are high enough, install window shades or film on your windows, and consider painting your house a light color. These steps can help make your home more comfortable during the hot summer.
