I have a two story house and in the winter the heat always goes up to the 2nd floor and it get too hot, and do

Answer 1

We have a two-story home, and have faced the same problem. You don't want to close the vents (or dampers), since many/most rooms have only one. Better to adjust them to almost-closed in upstairs rooms, and wide-open in downstairs rooms -- trial and error should help you get a better balance. Also make sure your cold air returns upstairs are not blocked (by furniture, etc.) and that your supply vents downstairs are not blocked by furniture.

Fans upstairs can help, but mostly they simply make it feel cooler; they won't move much air from upstairs to downstairs.

The other things we do is turn back the thermostat at night (on an automatic thermostat -- relatively cheap, if you don't already have one). That keeps the temperature lower at night, during the time we spend most time upstairs.

Answer 2

I tried every thing, adjusting vents, ceiling fans, drapes and any thing else I could come up with. Finally did a pretty good job of curing the problem. Put a big return air duct at close to the upstairs ceiling. That pulled hot air out and run it back thru the furnace and since it was still warm it did not take as much fuel to bring it back up to temp.

Answer 3

Is it possible for you to turn the fan motor of your central unit to the on position? If you have a central unit, it will then distribute the heat more equally throughout the entire house. If you have an upstairs and a downstairs unit, then turn the downstairs unit's fan on to help draw the heat from upstairs back down. Regardless, the upstairs will always be warmer.

Answer 4

If you can close the doors in you upstairs rooms and shut the vents to those rooms. If that is not an option turn on the cealing fans to get the air moving down stairs again.

Answer 5

run you heater with the fan in the "on " position fan keeps going, circulating air
if that doesn't work... you may have to do that & install a ceiling fan in a 2 story entry, or 2 story family room, to get the hot air off the ceiling! ..... maybe a well placed table fan, what ever it takes to mix the air... you may be able to put it at the base of the stairs & blow upward!

Answer 6

you can close the vents upstairs. Try using ceiling fans down stairs that push the heat back down.Heat just rises naturally and it is hard to regulate in a two story homw.

Answer 7

Answer 8

You can either close some dampers upstairs, put in a damper gate in your main supply to the upstairs, or put in a separate unit for upstairs.
