Hello All

Not sure where this should be posted, but i have an issue that i am looking for what might it be.

Being winter here in Toronto, Canada. we must run our HVAC unit to keep our homes warm, so my thermastat is set to 22 celcious. The temperature on the main floor reads 22, however on the second floor (where our bedrooms are), the temperature is only 20 celcious. Its 20 in every room.

Why is that? What could i do to increase the temp, without raising the temperature of the main floor?

What causes this kind of issue?

Could be any number of issues.

Heat loss via air loss or conduction losses can drive temperature differentials.

Poorly sealed or balanced ducts can also affect distribution and balance.

Much more information would be needed about the home to clearly identify the causes.

Windows are only a fraction of the issue.

Google Air Sealing and Insulation.
