Your HVAC system should be your comfort companion—running quietly in the background, keeping your home cozy or cool as needed. So, what do you do when it falls short of your expectations? You likely spent a good amount of money and time getting it installed. Yet, you’re not getting the performance your installers promised. This comprehensive guide is here to help you understand why your HVAC system might be letting you down and how Hamel’s Air Conditioning and Heating can help make things right.
First and foremost, let’s emphasize how vital a correct installation is to the overall performance of your HVAC system. A wrong setup can lead to numerous issues—uneven temperatures, poor energy efficiency, and other problems that can make your life uncomfortable.

Many factors contribute to uneven heating or cooling—commonly known as hot and cold zones. These could include incorrect zoning, insufficient or leaking ductwork, faulty thermostats, or poor insulation.
Zoning is more than just separating different areas of your home. It involves understanding the layout, insulation, and even factors like sun exposure. A well-designed duct system can distribute air evenly, leading to temperature consistency.
We perform a multi-point diagnostic check to identify the root cause of these uneven temperatures. Our solutions range from recalibrating thermostats and redesigning ductwork for better air distribution to installing advanced zoning systems that cater to your home’s needs.
Weak airflow can make even a high-end HVAC system seem ineffective. If your rooms are not reaching the desired temperature or taking too long, you may have an airflow issue.
Airflow problems often originate from duct leakage, blocked filters, or malfunctioning fans. The HVAC unit size also plays a critical role. An undersized or oversized system can prevent adequate airflow.
We analyze your home’s unique airflow needs and inspect your existing ductwork for design flaws or leaks. Based on this, we offer customized solutions, including duct sealing, duct rerouting, or installing new, energy-efficient fans and filters.
Is your HVAC system running endlessly? That’s not just annoying; it’s also an energy drain.
An HVAC system that won’t turn off usually indicates improper sizing. However, lousy duct design, a misconfigured variable, or a two-stage system can also be culprits.
A complete review of your system is the first step to diagnosing this issue. This involves assessing your home’s layout, insulation, windows, and other factors to determine the optimal system size. For those with variable or two-stage systems, reconfiguration may solve the problem.
A suboptimal HVAC system can inflate your energy bills considerably.
HVAC systems account for nearly 50% of a home’s energy consumption. A faulty design can waste 30-50% more energy, affecting your wallet.
Our team conducts a comprehensive energy audit, identifying areas of inefficiency within your HVAC system. We may recommend installing energy-efficient components or fine-tuning your existing setup to lower energy consumption.
