Have you ever walked into a room and thought, “Why does this feel colder? The aircon is set to the same temperature!”
You’re not imagining it. Even if two rooms are set at 24°C, your aircon can make each space feel different.
To begin with, temperature alone doesn’t determine comfort. In fact, airflow, humidity, room layout, and even your own body affect how cool a room feels. Moreover, your mind also plays a surprisingly big role in how you perceive coldness.
In this article, we explain the astonishing truth behind uneven aircon cooling and how you can make every room in your Singapore home feel consistently comfortable.
1. Airflow: The Main Factor
First of all, airflow affects how cold a room feels.
-
If the air blows directly on you, the room feels colder.
-
Conversely, blocked vents or furniture can make a room feel warmer.
-
Additionally, ceiling fans or air vents that channel air differently can change perception.
Therefore, even if the thermostat is the same, one room may feel chilly while another feels warm.
2. Humidity Makes a Big Difference
Next, consider Singapore’s humid climate. Humidity can change how your body perceives temperature:
-
High humidity makes the room feel warmer
-
Low humidity makes it feel cooler
As a result, a room with lower humidity — due to better ventilation or less sunlight — will feel colder than another room, even when both are at 24°C.
3. Room Size, Layout, and Sunlight
Moreover, the size and layout of your room affect cooling:
-
Larger rooms take longer to cool and may feel warmer.
-
Rooms with more sunlight, especially west-facing ones, absorb heat and feel warmer.
-
Rooms with darker walls or floors may feel slightly cooler because they absorb or reflect heat differently.
In short, your room’s design impacts how cold it feels.
4. Your Body and Mind Matter
Interestingly, psychology plays a role too.
-
If you come from a hot room, a cool room feels extra chilly.
-
Stress, fatigue, or sickness can change your perception of temperature.
-
Expectations matter: if you think a room should feel cold, your brain makes it feel colder.
Thus, two people in the same room may feel different temperatures.
5. Aircon Condition Affects Cooling
Finally, the state of your aircon unit can make a difference:
-
Dirty filters or clogged fan coils reduce cooling efficiency.
-
Low refrigerant levels may cause uneven cooling.
-
Old or malfunctioning thermostats can create temperature differences.
Therefore, regular maintenance ensures every room cools evenly.
How to Make All Rooms Feel Equally Cool
Here are some practical tips for Singapore homes:
Service your aircon regularly to maintain efficiency.
Keep vents and airflow unobstructed.
Use curtains or blinds to reduce sunlight in warmer rooms.
Ensure all units have sufficient cooling capacity.
Balance humidity with Dry Mode or a dehumidifier.
Close doors to prevent heat transfer from warmer rooms.
By doing this, every room can feel consistent and comfortable.
