Question:
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?

Reply:
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.

I don’t want to be blunt but forget it!
If you knew how much engineering goes into building an A/C system you would not ask this question.
You might as well ask how you can build a home thermonuclear device.
Good luck anyway.

There’s more to Hunter ceiling fans than you think. If you don’t know how to look for the right fan for your particular use, you might end up picking the wrong one. This isn’t just about getting the fan design that you like. Aside from style and design, you also need to think about what you will be using the fan for and where you will be placing it.

- One of the most important considerations is the size of the room. The room size will naturally affect air distribution. Smaller fans with blades below 40″ or 30″ are best for small rooms like kid’s bedrooms or bathrooms. Dens and kitchens on the other hand may fit the medium category and should have fan blades over 40″ Large rooms like family rooms and recreation rooms should have fans blades over 50″ or 60″.

- Room width isn’t everything. Some very wide rooms can have very low ceilings. To decrease the risk of injury and accidents, your fan should have blades that are seven feet off the ground. A ceiling that is too high on the other hand can limit efficient air flow in which case, you would fare better if you have a down rod.

- The purpose of your ceiling fan will understandably affect your choice. Some fans are really chosen more for decorative purposes than anything else. Of course, many people also choose ceiling fans for functional reasons. If you want a purely decorative fan, you could go for one that has a small motor and an intricate design. Fan models also differ according to whether they are intended for indoor or outdoor use.

- Of course, you can never put your taste as a second priority. Obviously, your choice of Hunter ceiling fans should also match your style preferences. You can pick blades in various colors and finishes. Your blade finish however, should ideally match the color or furniture theme of your room. If you like some flexibility, you can always pick a Hunter fan with reversible blades. One side can have a slightly different color or shade so you can switch blades as you change room decorations.

- Like other fans, Hunter models can also have other accessories. You may for example, pick a fan that can be controlled by remote.

- Ceiling fans are perfect fixtures to attach lights too. There are Hunter fans that come with lights or can be fitted with lights. The light fixture design should be one that matches your room theme. Aside from the bulb design, you also need to choose between subdued uplights and direct downlights. Your light kit choice will depend on your intended use for the fan lights.

Whoever thought, there’d be a lot to think about when it comes to Hunter ceiling fans. Just start with these major considerations and you will surely find what you are looking for.

Buy a home, improve it and sell it for a nice profit. Heck, it is the American Dream. While the strategy is a good way to make money, this is only true if you do not go crazy with your remodeling and spend far more than you can recover when you sell.

Far too often, homeowners do not consider the importance of a great kitchen area. There are numerous homes on the market right now that include great landscaping, new floors, and an old kitchen. Since buyers want to see an updated kitchen, this is one way to effectively turn them off from your home.

What is a top of the line remodeled kitchen worth when you go to sell your home? Well, that depends on the rest of the home. If you have a million dollar kitchen and a 10 dollar home, you are going to have problems selling for a good price.

If you are going to begin remodeling, make sure to stick with designs and colors that many people will find appealing. While you may think that a lime green kitchen is divine, others will not share this opinion. Try to select neutral tones, classic styles, and clean designs.

As far as changing the actual structure of the home goes, do not expand rooms that don?t make sense. For example, expanding a small bathroom might be a good idea, but adding an oddly shaped addition to the home itself may be a turn off. If you must go through a remodeling stage, be sure to keep it simple.

When remodeling, you will get the most bang for your buck with time tested strategies. Focus on the kitchen and bathroom first unless there is some element in desperate need of help. If they are all good, add a room or buff out the landscaping.

If you really want to avoid making a mistake when remodeling, bring in help. Show your plans to friends and ask them what they think. Actually listen to them! If they think it is a bit too much, then pull back from the abyss and go with something more acceptable.

Do not view your home as a place you live in when remodeling. View it as a product that must be sold for a profit. Do your plans increase the price you can ask for that product? If so and the amount is more than you are spending, you are on the right track.
