Hello,
Does it matter which return air exchange a thermostat is located near? Here is the rest of the story...
I have an AC unit that is dedicated to the upstairs portion of my home and four bedrooms. My eventual plan is to install motorized dampers (controlled via a zone controller) in each of the bedrooms, but for now I have accomplished this task by manually closing the vents in three of these rooms. The main thermostat was originally located in the hallway and next to a large return air exchange, but with the heat of the summer, I have temporarily relocated it next to a smaller return air exchange in the master bedroom. My plan is working and just the portion of the upstairs that I need cooled is being being done. However, there is a 10-15 degree difference between the area around each of the return air exchanges.
Is this hard (or "confusing", for the lack of wording) on my AC unit?
Thanks,
Dr. Z.
