Hi all. I have a 2 storey, ~1200 sq ft home in a hot climate. I have a single HVAC unit...central air and ductwork, electric AC/heat. There is no zoning to the system. The thermostat is downstairs....
Just piling on at this point, but we made 2 changes last spring that made summer so much more tolerable in our house.
More insulation. I bought a cheap thermal camera on Amazon and found entire closets and a bathroom with no insulation. Those rooms are a solid 10+ degrees cooler now.
More ventilation. Half my house didn’t have any soffit vents, but had attic vents. Adding soffit vents made that half the house 5 degrees cooler all on its own.
And we haven’t found ourselves needing it, but a mini split has popped up a lot here already and is a great idea.
Looking for some HVAC suggestions to better cool my stifling second floor
