J From: "Jody"

J The thermostat is on the first floor, not on a separate thermostat. I
J can't get any more heat vents on the floor as the basement is not
J finished. All I can do is cut additional ones in the ceiling to add
J more heat. The other thing I could do is move the returns to the
J floor. You are right about the cold feet. That is why I had the
J HVAC guys come in and put ducts from the main vent on ceiling
J down to the bottom of the walls. I assumed he would know how many
J would be suffient and on which walls to put them. That is why I
J paid for a professional to do it, to avoid having a cold basement.
J It really sucks when you pay a professional to do something
J and they screw it all up and then think they are still right.

This could also be part of the problem. if it is on the upstairs thermostat
you may need to have the system balanced or maybe even a zoning system.

... URA Redneck if you keep your thermostat on 85 in the winter.
