Second floor cooler than first floor
12/22/2017 at 12:40:21 AM
The second floor in my house (mainly my daughter's room) is slightly cooler than the rest of the house. Her room is over the front porch, which was insulated with spray foam. The house is 4 years old (built by Monarch) and noticed that the temperature on the first floor is 23 degrees and 21 - 21.5 degrees on the second floor. Should I be concerned about this? Is there anything that could be done?
Thank you for your replies.

No this is quite common. In virtually all homes the second floor is cooler for s variety of reasons. If the difference is minor I would not be concerned as you could spend a fortune trying to improve it with minimal gain

Hi there, the first floor always is a little bit warmer due to the ductwork is closer to the furnace the further you go the less forced air gas you will get. If you need to get the r value up check what insulation you have above the bedroom ceiling in the Attic. You can always remove the drywall from the exterior walls and spray foam them with 2 lb sprayfoam to get maximum R-value insulation value. You can also get an electric blanket lol
