Hot air rises. Do you spend time in the summer upstairs? Pretty warm isn’t it. Maybe too warm? What is interesting is that the upstairs can be too warm in Winter too, because the people living on the ground floor demand more heat to keep their zone warm enough and this leaves the upstairs too warm.
This kind of problem varies in degrees. Sorry, bad pun. If you are putting up with an upstairs that is just too warm- there is good news. The answer may be a basic Zoned system. Zoning a house to better accommodate the different temperature tastes of family members is a little different. The upstairs vs. downstairs problem relates more to physics. Hot air rises. Imagine though if the person preferring cool is relegated to the upstairs.
There are solutions to defeating the uncomfortably hot upstairs. We can create individual heating and cooling zones with special dampers which direct more cooling air upstairs in summer and less heating air in the winter. And this not only makes each area of the house more comfortable but also saves money. Otherwise, the cooling bills go up and the people down stairs are putting on long sleeve shirts to deal with the extra cool temperature downstairs. This is not only uncomfortable but also wastes money.
