Minneapolis — common problem
Hot and Cold Spots in Older Minneapolis Homes
Pre-war homes were built before central air was standard. Ductwork was added later, often through closets and chases that weren't designed to deliver balanced air. The result: rooms that never reach setpoint and a system that runs constantly trying to make them.
What to look for
Signs this is what's happening
- One or two rooms always feel different from the rest
- Upstairs is 5–10°F different from the main floor
- An addition or finished attic is the worst offender
- Closing other vents doesn't fix the bad room
How we fix it
We diagnose the actual restriction (a static-pressure read takes 20 minutes) and quote the fix that addresses it — duct correction, a ductless head for the problem zone, or a multi-zone replacement if the existing system is past its life.
