Home and Auto Heating and Cooling type question... - Page 2

**The Franchise** · 11-25-2015, 01:02 PM

We live in a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom house that we bought a little over 2 years ago. The main problem that we've had since we moved in is that the master bedroom and bathroom are always hotter than the rest of the house. Doesn't matter if it's winter or summer. I've tried closing off the vents in the other parts of the house during the summer but it doesn't seem to make a huge difference. Now that it's winter time and the heater is running....it's once again hotter in those two rooms.

Those two rooms are on the side of the house that sees the most sun and the bathroom doesn't have a fan in it. Would shading the windows and installing a vent fan in the bathroom make a huge difference?

I'm sure this is a common problem that people have run into before.

While it's still hotter over there, the sun shades have helped tremendously from when we moved in. I would start with doing some sort of window screens(can be removed) or window tinting. It wasn't terrible expensive.

I think I'm going to pick up some window tinting tonight and see if that helps. Next step is to install a bathroom fan.

Be sure to buy a quiet fan. Cheap ones are noisy as ****.

Also, don't forget you need to duct that air to somewhere outside, you do not want humid air venting into the attic.
