Looking for some opinions.
I currently live in a two story 1200 sq ft. townouse, and I suffer from a common problem that most homeowners have.
Hot on the 2nd floor, and just great on the first.
My A/C is ok, and I do not want to move my thermostat (currently downstairs).
That being said installing a zone controller is the best solution becuase it will allow me to have a thermostat upstairs.
The downstairs ducts feed off of a 12" duct that comes off of the supply plenum so its a no brainer on how to setup the motorized duct for the downstairs.
However the upstairs has three ducts (one for each room) and each one of the ducts feed off of the supply plenum.
The only way I can think of the make the two zone controller work is to take another 12" duct with a motorized damper off the supply plenum and have it feed to a junction box which would then supply the upstairs rooms.
Does this sound like it would work and be acceptable.
I look forward to hearing feedback.
Thanks
