Circulate Air Between Floors

This doesn t surprise me as hot air obviously rises plus the 1st floor has the benefit of the slab heat sink.

Circulate air between floors.

A ventilator fan can blow conditioned air up or down depending on the position of the blower unit. What surprised me is that this morning the temperatures were the same. Within a few minutes the temperature should equalize between the floors there s another more advanced and much more expansive way of improving air ventilation and air circulation in homes especially multi story buildings. The larger 100kbtu system is zoned for the 1st and 2nd floor.

If you don t you ll simply feel the chill from the cool breeze they create. An inline booster fan would push or pull air depending on the season. Have a professional contractor install a cold air return gadget in your basement. In the summer the cool air sinks to the basement and the heat must run to keep it at 69f.

There are 2 hvac systems both sitting in the basement. This tool promotes cool air circulation through duct work and other house passageways use weatherstripping and. We had a hot day here yesterday 34c 93f and by sunset the first floor was 22c 72f while the upstairs was around 24 5c 76f. And also keep them running at their lowest speed.

This is by using supplemental mechanical balanced heat recovery ventilation systems. Keep the forced air system thermostat fan on instead of auto position to help circulate the air during the hottest and coldest periods of time. I don t see a lot of air mixing between floors in my partly finished house. The level to level ventilator fan shown moves existing cool air from one level from the basement or a mini split system for example to another level of the house through an adjustable sleeve installed through the floor ceiling.

Very basic plan is to use some rigid ducting to reach from the ceiling of the 1st floor to the ceiling of the 2nd floor in the same room as the stove. By installing pass through air grilles in bedroom doors or jumper ducts in the ceiling between rooms to convey supply airflow back to the central return duct neutral air balance in each room is.
