Why Your South Jordan, UT Home Has Uneven Heating (and How to Fix It)

Do some rooms in your South Jordan home feel warm and cozy while others stay cold? Uneven heating is a common issue, especially during Utah’s winter months. While it’s frustrating, the causes are often fixable — and the solution can boost both your comfort and energy efficiency.

Top Causes of Uneven Heating in Homes

1. Dirty or Clogged Air Filter

If your filter is blocked, airflow throughout your system is restricted. This leads to poor circulation, especially in rooms furthest from the furnace. Replace filters every 1–3 months during heating season.

2. Poor Ductwork Design or Leaks

Leaky, uninsulated, or poorly designed ductwork can lose heat before it reaches your vents. Our team can inspect your ducts and recommend solutions.

3. Improperly Sized Furnace

If your furnace is too large or too small for your home, it may heat unevenly. Oversized systems cycle too quickly, while undersized ones struggle to keep up.

4. Thermostat Placement or Programming Issues

If your thermostat is in a warm hallway or direct sunlight, it may not accurately reflect your home’s actual temperature. This can cause rooms to be under- or over-heated.

5. Blocked or Closed Vents

Furniture, curtains, or closed vents can restrict airflow. Make sure your supply and return vents are unobstructed and open.

6. Multi-Level Temperature Differences

Heat rises — so second floors are naturally warmer. You may benefit from a smart zoning system or upgraded duct configuration to better balance temperature.
