My bedroom?

Question

I always wonder how come my bedroom is extrmely hot pretty much all year around and very dry too. So dry that when i wake up sometimes i have a stuffy nose. My bedroom is right next to me and when i open the door and walk thru the livingroom is so cool. But yet my bedroom is hot. It is located on the front right corner of the house, which i kno is where the sun is mostly located since it brights my room in the morning. Even though i have an AC which it does cool my room but it takes forever, i still cant understand the heat neither dryness. I have windows open and even during winter i keep my windows, well one and my fan running all year around (on top of the AC in summer) just to cool my room and some what lest dry so i can breath better. Is there a reason? how can i make this better for myself?

Answer 1

If you have curtains for the window then get backing for them, its just darker when you sleep. If you have blinds, close them a little bit.

If you wake up with a stuffed nose because it is that dry in your room, get a steam vaporiser, it will make your windows wet when you wake up in the morning. I am not too sure why but these answers might help.

Answer 2

Its a possiblity that the insulation in the walls is causing the heat, the dryness i have no idea. If it gets too dry try buying one those steam machins that generate steam. For the heat i cant be sure how to help, you could just leave the air conditioner on all day but that would be a waste of energy, lol. Also try to keep as much circulation in the room as you can, so turn on fans, open doors and open windows. Another option is to buy a attic fan and install it above your room to help keep it cool. Otherwise theres nothing that i know of to do. Well good luck and i hope all this info helped! xDD

Answer 3

no freaking idea

Answer 4

I found that my son's room was the hottest in the house, but his was in the middle and ours was in the front where all the sun is.  We figured out that the way the furnace pipes were run were the cause of the problem in the winter. The rooms on the outter edges of the house are normally hotter because those rooms are exposed to the sun the most. As for the dryness, run a humidifier in your room year round if necessary.  I had to do the same thing for my son. He gets chronic bloody noses if I don't.  You need to run a fan at night to draw out the hot air to keep it cool in your room, then first thing in the morning, switch to the AC if it will get hotter during the day. If you are concerned about the electric cost, get an AC with a timer and temp control.

Answer 5

I'm assuming you have central air but it's not clear in you question. If so, you may have an restricted air duct, one that has come loose or one sized too small.  

Solutions:

* Check the continuity of the duct supplying the bedroom.    

   Reconnect  if it has come loose. Determine why and

   eliminate the reason.

* Have a qualified HVAC tech determine the proper size of

  the duct required. Install larger duct if required.

* Install booster fan in the existing duct to increase the air

  flow.

If no central air and you are relying upon a window unit, either the unit is too small for the room, unit is low on refrigerant or the room is not insulated sufficiently. You may also try putting aluminium foil over the windows to reflect the heat.

As for the dryness. I have no clue. Where located? Try adding an humidifier.
