[quote=Anonymous]We noticed a similar problem as the OP after we bought our house. The master bedroom was unbearably hot in the summer... no matter how low we set the thermostat. It was only cool when the AC was blowing. I think it is partly due to the shape of the room which is a long rectangle and did not have the air flow. It was also because the attic did not have enough insulation. So we added some insulation- up to R49 level-probably over kill for this area but it only cost $300 more. Also installed a large large ceiling fan in the room. It is so much cooler now. But it still gets stuffy and we leave the ceiling fan on low setting over night. It works for us and it is cheaper than getting a new AC. [/quote]
