[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can try a couple things - shut the vents downstairs and force more cooler air upstairs. You can also install portable AC. You can also look into attic fan to keep attic temp under control. [/quote] We do the vents/fans to keep our upstairs cooler. In the summer we sometimes leave the attic fan on all the time. We leave all ceiling fans on too. I normally let them spin on med/high to really keep air moving. It gets stuffy otherwise. Then we sleep in lighter clothing and light blankets and bring a sweat shirt when heading to the basement. Also, you do want to keep the basement vents open a little. At least our AC system uses those vents to suck air too, so with them closed we managed to freeze our unit (which makes it stop working!). So now we sometimes close them at night, but then during the day my DH opens them up 1/2 way or so.[/quote]
