Why wouldn't a central HVAC system cool a home evenly?

A central HVAC system should heat and cool your home evenly. If it doesn't, then this can indicate a problem somewhere in the system that you would want to have checked out by a technician and have repaired as needed. A couple of examples of things that could cause the system to work unevenly would be having a leak somewhere in the system or there may be a blockage in the system. 

Why would a central HVAC system make noise?

One of the additional things so many people like about central HVAC systems is that they heat and cool homes quietly. However, when a central system has certain things going wrong with them, then they can start to make noises. One of the reasons that central heating and air conditioner can make noise can include the compressor going bad. If the compressor is going bad then it can lead to a screeching noise happening that can be quite loud. Another thing that can lead to noise in the central HVAC system is the fan motor having issues and this can also cause a loud screeching sound.
