Our house has A\/C now, not quite getting how it works (the upstairs is getting too warm every day, no matter what.) One thing was it was getting warmer and warmer and the A\/C wasn’t coming on at all upstairs. So I ended up turning every thermostat to “off” and waited a minute, then only turned on the upstairs thermostat. Waited until it was ready and started cooling, let that run for a few minutes, looked at it, cooling, yes, blowing forcibly harder in all the rooms than it normally does.<\/p>\n
Then I turned the main floor thermostat on. I left the downstairs thermostat off over night. The upstairs cooled down overnight. The next morning I turned the downstairs thermostat on.<\/p>\n
That day it stayed cool upstairs, until early mid afternoon, the master bedroom started climing faster than I had hoped for, but then leveled out at 73 degrees. Cooled down at night, then the next day it got to 76 degrees.<\/p>\n
It’s a puzzle that I can’t solve. Digital Zones. Ugh.<\/p>\n
My kitchen gets a high heat load from cooking and the sun hitting the back of the house all day, but the sun effect is lessened via trees there.<\/p>\n
My master suite gets blasted from the sun hitting the back of the house all day.<\/p>\n
There’s the glitch.<\/p>\n
There ain’t no fix.<\/p>\n
Unless it’s understandable to our HVAC guys and there is a solution.<\/p>\n
I’d be happy if the upstairs got to 69 or 70 for a high, but it’s not that it is, it’s going well above, and staying there until 3am when it mostly starts going the other direction .<\/p>\n
I’ve tried keeping it set at a higher temp, that doesn’t work so well. I’ll try it again today. See what really happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
