[quote=Anonymous]The 15' by 20' family room in our ~40 yr old house has a 2-3' crawlspace (rather than basement) underneath. We've found this room is about 4 degrees warmer than the rest of the house during the Summer and 6 degrees colder than the rest of our house in Winter. The summer difference is manageable, but the winter temp difference is harder to live with given how much time we spend in that room. Last winter we used an electric space heater to make the room comfortable for our family. But I'm always worried about forgetting to turn off the heater and we have a 3 yo that plays in that room. There is no roof above this room (there is a second floor above) so its NOT a matter of attic insulation. Besides looking for ways to improve the insulation, is there a safer and better way to heat this room (aside from using an electric space heater). Curious what others do with the same problem? The HVAC vents do seem to be weak in terms of air flow.[/quote]
