I have a tri-level home and the central AC unit won't cool the top level. Main level is kitchen, dining, living rooms, half bath, lower level is den and garage, and upstairs is bedrooms and baths. Den stays REALLY cool. Main level is pretty cool as well, but the upstairs is always about four degrees hotter than the mail level. You wouldn't think four degrees would be a big difference, but with temps. in the triple digits this year it did! There's a big difference between 85 and 89 when you're trying to sleep! Someone suggested installing a separate unit for the upper level. Someone else suggested replacing the current unit with a dual zone unit. My power bill has been $450 plus for the last few months. My house is pretty well insulated, so I really think it's just that the unit isn't proficient. It's not that old either and is serviced twice a year. Any suggestions??
