My upstairs is really hot during the summer and my downstairs stays
cool. My dad told me to start adding more insulation to the upstairs
attic. I am doing this but will that help the upstairs to cool down?
Half of my upstairs is finished and there is 1 vent in each bedroom
(total of 2) I do not see anyreturn duct work. If I install that will
that help?



I have return ducts, but still notice air rather just come down the
stairs.

Well I had the same temp difference, and I checked, my ceilings were
HOT. I upgraded my insulation, and when I want as close a temp (top
and bottom floors) I put the fan on recycle.
