Our house is at around 70*F temperature, but the kitchen hardwood

garage is right below the kitchen, its possible the garage is not
insulated properly and cold air seeps through.

Is it possible to insulate the garage ceiling (under the kitchen
floor) now? Thoughts?


It may or may not be insulated already, but over the garage it may be cooler
in either case if the garage is 20 or 30 degrees cooler than the house.

The other factor is surface contact. Wood, tiles, and other smooth surfaces
feel cooler to your feet because you have greater skin (or sock) contact
compared to carpeting. Since the floor is 70° and your body is 96°, it will
suck the heat right our of you.

If you suspect lack of insulation make a small hole and take a peek. If
none, it can be blown in.
