Why is my upstairs so much colder than downstairs?
Common causes include leaky or undersized ductwork, poor attic insulation, and single-zone HVAC systems that can't adequately serve two floors. The fix depends on the specific cause.
Should I close downstairs vents to force more heat upstairs?
Partially closing a few downstairs vents can help, but closing too many creates pressure problems that reduce system efficiency. Professional balancing is the better long-term solution.
