A/C not balanced throughout house . . hot upstairs, cold down

I just moved into an existing house a couple of months ago. I fired up the Central AC unit over the weekend and was happy to find that it was pumping out some nice cold air. After a couple of hours, I realized the obvious . . it was quite warm on the second floor, comfortable in the ground floor, and cool/cold in the basement. I completely closed the vents in the basement, slightly closed the vents on the ground floor (where I thought was appropriate) and opened up the critical upstairs vents (my bedroom) wide open. . . this helped a little, but not much. Any suggestions? I remember reading that this could be related to attic ventilation? My home inspector indicated that the attic ventillation on my colonial-style house was adequate, but could be better (soffits on either end and something that runs along the ridge line that did something else to help ventilate). Not knowing a thing aobut attic ventilation, I went about my merry way purchasing my home. I haven't thought about it since, but the hot muggy nights are causing me to re-evaluate the situation. |
