If you’ve ever wondered why your house stays unbearably hot at night, even after blasting the air conditioning, you’re not alone. Many homeowners assume that once the sun goes down, their home should cool down naturally. But if your house remains stifling, the real culprit could be poor insulation, air leaks, or heat retention from the day.
Your AC Shouldn’t Have to Work Overtime
A properly insulated home should be able to retain the cool air from your air conditioning. If you can run your AC for an hour in the evening and still wake up feeling hot and uncomfortable, your home may have issues like:
• Cracks and gaps around doors, windows, or in your ceiling allowing warm air to seep in.
• Poor insulation in your walls, ceilings, or underfloors, causing cool air to escape and heat to build up.
• Heat retention from the day due to materials like uninsulated brick or metal roofing.
Where Is Your Home Losing Cool Air?
• Ceiling Insulation: Heat rises, and if your ceiling isn’t properly insulated, cool air will escape while warm air seeps in from your roof.
• Wall Insulation: External walls can absorb heat throughout the day, making it harder to maintain a comfortable temperature at night.
• Underfloor Insulation: If you have a raised floor, gaps or poor insulation can let warm air rise from below, making your home feel stuffy.
