Question:
How can I ensure that the entire house gets cooled down and not just a few rooms?
I live in Florida, so central AC is a must! My home is approximately 1300 square feet.
I have central air conditioning but the two farthest rooms in the house are usually warm while the rest of the house is cool. What can I do to ensure that all rooms are cooled evenly? Sounds like your system is a free flow supplying air to all rooms at once.

To fix this a technician would have to go into your ceiling and adjust fixed dampers in the ductwork. By getting the correct airflow balance the air should be able to reach the extremity of those rooms.
If the air is still not able to reach rooms you may have a system that does not have enough capacity to adequately supply those rooms. Believe it or not it is a tricky job to balance the air correctly requiring specialist measuring equipment.
Another consideration is the thermostatic control. It is nearly impossible to cool extremity rooms if these have a high heat load in comparison to the rest of the home, the thermostat cannot know what the temperature is in those rooms and even if it did the system would then freeze the rest of the home in a vain attempt to cool the extremity rooms.
Not as easy as it first sounds is it?
Best to get the experts in to have a look. And be selective as to who you choose, this type of job requires high technical experience from a reputable company…don’t scrimp out trying to save a few dollars.
Good Luck
