For some reason or another, it’s freezing cold on the top floor of our house.
I was always taught that heat rises, but that does not seem to be the case at our house. The heat doesn’t rise at all here and the lower floor is a lot warmer than the rest of the house for some reason. The upstairs is actually so cold right now that you can see your breath whenever you go up there. I would guess that the temperature in the bedrooms on the top floor of the house is probably about 40 degrees! That is way too cold for anyone to stay warm at night while they are trying to sleep. Meanwhile, the temperature downstairs is about 66 degrees. That is still kind of a chilly temperature during the winter, but it’s a whole lot warmer than it is upstairs. At least when we are downstairs, we don’t have to wear winter coats all the time.We have started sleeping downstairs next to the wood burning fireplace. Even though the wood burning fireplace doesn’t put off a ton of heat, at least it’s a lot warmer in the living room next to it than it is upstairs in our bedrooms. I called our goal HVAC company to see what they thought about the problem. They’re going to come out in a couple of days to see what’s going on upstairs, but the guy that I talked to said that it sounds like a ventilation issue to him and not an actual problem with our furnace.
