We don’t have attics...
@@chuckschickbaldtacos yes, every house has an attic crawl space. It's where all the ductwork is.
KrissyKayIndigo 1111 nope
KrissyKayIndigo 1111 I fucken live in Tucson and own a house...there’s no crawl spaces and no attic
You must have a very old home then as all new builds have a crawl space for access. I'm in construction in the Phoenix metropolitan area
Fact:
The door to your bedroom is a portal to Mercury
Bruh is that why my room is always so damn hot? My room is _directly_ above the garage, you can hear it open and close from there..
Dammit of course I get the room with the worst heat :( I literally can't sleep at night, I'll take a cold shower, turn the ceiling fan on and the floor fan pointing towards me on max power, ice behind the fan, open windows, closed windows, I've tried everything. And it's honestly worse at night, too. I even take those melatonin pills and I can't go to sleep until like, 4 or 5 in the morning and I have to wake up at 7 for school. This is hell..
😪😪
Damn i feel bad for you man
I’d recommend using a portable ac unit in your room or a window unit
You could put your bed sheets / blankets in the fridge / freezer to keep them cool
My exact situation
So I'm from AZ and everyone else in the comments
Well I’m from Cali
texas
Cleveland actually
Texas here
I live in Arizona and I have the hot room😑..I am miserable right now. Ive actually been sleeping on the couch because its so much cooler.
It's November and my room is so hot that I sweat during the night, and my sister's room is so cold that she is freezing during the night even with blankets.
Same but I like cold and my sister likes heat and she has the cold room lmao
You just saved me from calling a professional to check on 2 hot rooms in my AZ house. The registers were restricting air flow! The rooms have already cooled down in 10 min. I could barely feel the air when I put my hand near the registers. Now I can feel the air sitting on the bed. Thank you!!
So did you just remove the registers or can you point me on which ones you purchased
I removed my registers and can feel a waterfall of cool air pouring into the room. The farthest corner is 80 while the other corner on the same side is 77...but my thermostat is 74. 😆
Yeah I have that issue as well. Gonna try this see it it works
I live in Arizona and city I live in averages out to 110 degrees during the summer time. I know why my room is hotter than other rooms in the house. I always have my Dual monitors running as well as my pc and Xbox. So having an excessive amount of electronics running could be a huge factor for some people.

Everyone’s in Arizona ok I’m not
Same
h0l0gr4m_ I commented this so long ago wtf
Lol
Me too im from India
Other sites say potentially more insulation. Why is your advice any more credible? It could be each situation is unique, and you are not accounting for that.
Who's all still watching this in 2020?
Does it matter
@@carabouttohityou6421 Very Much So. It's not called a Sarcastic Rhetorical Question for Nothing
I am. Gonna try removing the registers completely and leaving all the interior doors open.
I'm also in AZ and the summers are brutal. There's some great info here. What would you suggest for high flow registers? Thanks!
They don’t know the suffering of those who live in tropical countries
Why is everyone from Arizona?
This happens even during the winter. It's currently 25° F outside where i live and my room feels like it's 80° F . Now you can imagine the hell I go through during the summer... Literally.
Have you found a solution? So much conflicting info on net. Thx.
I have to keep my door open bc the room is so small and there's barely any airflow. I hate it bc I want my privacy and everyone is so loud lol
Is this supposed to be an ad or a helpful video, like he didn't even sell anything. I love it
It is true about the ductwork design, there are so many beautiful homes the suck to live in because big contractors slap units in cheaply and quickly
Because I’m in it 😎
I live in AZ and everytime i cross the border from the outside into my room, I start sweating profusely and it’s hot as shit
Same
Man my room regularly gets to 85-90 degrees in the dead of winter. Take one step out of the room into the hall and it’s immediately colder (70-73 degrees) it’s unbearable
I dont understand why in the summer my room with stay cold but in the winter it gets way hotter than the other rooms
I live in a 2150 sqft rental with 2 units. The house has a split floorplan. One unit is for the 3 bedrooms and living room and the other unit covers the master bedroom suite, laundry room and kitchen. The front of the house faces N and the back faces S. The 3 bedrooms are on the west side of the house and are in an L formation with the 1 bedroom at top of the L on the N side. The other 2 bedrooms are on the S side. The bedroom with only 1 wall to the outside facing S is 7 degrees hotter than the room on the NW walls of the house and 5 degrees hotter than the room with the SW walls. All the vents are at the same level through the house and placed close to the window of each room with 2 in the living room, 1 of which is by the window and one is in the middle of the house. We spend most of our time in the bedrooms, so we have closed the registers in the living room and the hottest bedroom, but this has not pushed more air into the coldest room.
Why is the inside room so much hotter than the others? It's difficult to have the heater on because this one room gets so hot but then the coldest room gets too cold. Being that this is a rental, what can I do as a renter to help? Any help is appreciated!
Clicks on the video when her room is hot and my bf is sitting in front of the fan yes I’m not okay🤧
If I add a shade on my window because of the direct sunlight, then basically I have no air going in my room anymore :D.
Just tell me how to fix it
I know why one room got hotter. I had a 20ft tall bougainvillea blocking the western sun off of the block wall and I cut it down. Replaced it with a tree and as soon as it grows another couple of feet, will have no more heat problem. Also, it's the farthest room away from the thermostat. I really wish they would position thermostats near where people spend most of their time.
I have a sub struck issue in my home. It’s a west facing bedroom with a pretty lrg window. This room was actually one of the coolest in the house. Because I had 3 trees in the side yard in FYI t if the window. But do to over pruning I list all of the trees! Now every summer I gripe about how the need to replace the darn trees!
Seeing all those bunched up ducts made me physically ill
Thanks for the tip about the registers -- I didn't really know they had such things.
I’m in Nevada it’s pain
I'm not even from AZ but my room is hot during the summer and I'm a hot sleeper
Every room in my house is comfortable in the summer except one bedroom which happens to be the farthest vent run from air handler.
I can leave door open and that does help but when it's closed it gets stuffy pretty quick.
I do have an inch undercut under the door and when it's closed I can feel air blowing out when AC is on.
Do you think putting in a return grill in bottom of door would help?
Yes it would help, as would installing a transfer grill above the door or jump duct in the ceiling
I live in puerto rico and my room get super hot
I have no insulation in my room :/
Please i need help I bought a new home just march 2023 one floor 4 rooms master room very good but the other two not air flow at all .

What city do you live in?
its almost winter.... its sweltering in my room.
Windows: am I a joke to you?
Every site has their own solutions! Many recommend an additional return.
In the uk and dont have vents and air conditioning things
Hey thats my bedroom
Im from Pennsylvania
In AZ it ain't happening 😂
Great video!
Thanks Wilson!
My room is like a sauna can’t sleep
No cap
Arizonan here and my sons bedroom under the AC UNIT is hot while my room is freezing at the other end.
I thought this was the onion. I'm disliking from pure disappointment.
What is so strange is once my son moved out of the hot room it was no longer hot ?!? I’m taking it’s not hot whatsoever now. Even when I leave the door closed all day !
How about sticking radiant barriers along the interior walls and ceilings of the hot room?
I absolutely agree with the window issue...we're going through a bit of a heat wave in western Canada right now. I just taped up aluminum foil on the outside of some of the east facing windows (cardboard / blinds / curtains on the inside)....we open everything up at night, close them during the day. Our attic has 2in closed cell spray foam with 60 cm of cellulose. We also have a portable AC but I have to admit, it barely keeps up (it's working on about 750 sq ft main floor)....my husband thinks keeping the attic hatch open will help (to let hot air rise) but I think we need to minimize the total air volume that we're trying to cool with the portable AC...
Hou Texas... but my sons room is cooler than mine an we both have a back room side by side
I'm going to try removing all my registers. I hope that'll help.
Why tf is my room so god damn hot can’t even sleep 😩😔🤡
My kids to is the end of the line. Tons of AC but almost no heat come out :(
It was my register the room has cooled down sooooo much omg thank you 😊
the single most energy efficient thing you can do is polyurethane to help the whole house
i live in canada n im just here cuz my room is not cold enough
How do I get my house Thermo checked with the heat sensor
You mean why your bedroom is the hottest room in the world
I had my ducks cleaned and the guy recommended that he shouldn’t replace those L shape metal air balance flow things and now all the bedrooms seem hot. What can I do to fix the problem when I don’t understand what I’m looking for?
Arizona home
Im from Philippines and uhh its so hot here in my room
Grossly oversized equipment is the primary cause we find.
Excessive home leakage is #2
Some say undersized. In fact, most do!
Thank you so much
Great tips
Me watching at 3 am cuz i can't sleep
🥵 Minnesota it's been 98° in my room
I just moved to AZ . I'm watching this for my apartment. As I have a
One direct sunlight room. I think it was.the return. As I took it off and noticed a difference. But what else could it be if that doesn't fix it? (And I tried the other tidbits you provide, sunscreen, new air filter, wide ducts)
Does your interior door close by itself when the air comes on? Are your ducts located in the wall or ceiling?
Been in tx 2 years and I appreciate this video.
Oh boy I’m in Texas
Why am I watching this, in here the hottest it ever got was like 78F
Must be nice bro
Where do you get an energy survey
Chompazoid
Damn hooligans
At my parents house my sisters room Is cooler than any other room In the house. I have always wondered why that was.
How old is your home? Two story or one?
She probably has northeast exposure from the sun
@@GreenintegrateddesignPages where do you get an energy survey
Hey
Guys please note from a home inspectors stand point, plants or trees that touch the home will be written up. Please do your research to save yourself a lot of work in the future when trying to sell your home. A good shade tree is great to have. But make sure it is far enough from the structure, plumbing, walkways etc.
Do you write up bushes to close to the condenser?
You want to keep your condenser clear of any debris, plants etc. a dirty coil will cost you in the future.
What if its your neighbor’s tree?
@Jeff Zest I'm pretty sure if it crosses your property line you can cut back. But this depends on a lot. Hopefully they'd be kind enough to help you out at that point.
@@jasonvansleez802 Technically may need permission; regardless, appears unfair I need to fork over a few hundred dollars every year or two due to neighbors tree on both roof and side of house. Also tree hanging over fence to another neighbor, but not endangering my house. No, they would not help me out!
Arizona and California, we live in hell it self.
