[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This sounds like your problem. I grew up in a house with two-story rooms. All the heat goes up into that second story. No way to make it warmer. When I bought, I ensured that we didn’t have any two-story rooms. [/quote] There are, of course, ways to make it warmer. Simply pumping more heat into the room will make it warmer. Stratification -- big temperature differences between the top and bottom of a room -- is usually caused by the exterior walls being leaky and allowing cold air to infiltrate. The cold air sinks and pushes the warm air up. Improving the air sealing will reduce stratification. How practical that is depends on how the house is constructed. [/quote]
