I have a 3400 sqft 2 story single family home and having trouble maintaining the room temperatures on the second floor. I have a central HVAC system with two zones. One for the first level and the other for the second floor. The first floor has no problem maintaining a consistent temperature since it is open concept. The second floor has all of the bedrooms and we keep the doors closed.
Each room sees different heat loads due to how many windows and ones see the most sun light. One of the bedrooms has the most windows and sees the most sunlight. During the summer, its the warmest bedroom so I adjust dampers to restrict air from other bedrooms so that it will receive more air and keep all the rooms at a similar temperature. During the winter, the same room is still the warmest room due to being the sunniest room but now it receives way too much heat and I have to restrict air flow to that room so I can direct more air to the cold rooms.
My house is three years old and the HVAC system easily handles the heating and cooling needs. My issue is finding the right air flow balance. I am considering adding another zone to give the master suite its own zone. That would allow me to maintain the temperature there easily but it doesn't fix the temperature difference in the other three bedrooms which are the warmest and coldest rooms in the house.
Would programming the fan to run every hour or so help maintain an even temperature across the bedrooms?
