For those of you who own townhomes in Society Hill, I want to share with you a little tip that was given to me by a heating/air conditioning expert when I asked him for some advice. I noticed that the upstairs was always so much warmer than the downstairs whether winter or summer. This is because heat rises up and cold air stays down, so he told me to do this....
In the winter months when you are using heat...close off most of the vents in the upper level (keep just one or two partially open). More heat will be put out through the open vents downstairs and will help to keep it warmer downstairs and not so hot upstairs. The warm air will eventually move to the upstairs but it won't feel too hot becau
se the upstairs vents will not be open.
In the summer months when you are using air conditioning....close most of the lower level vents (keep one or two partially open) forcing more of the cold air upstairs. It will keep the upstairs cooler and the cool air will eventually settle down to the lower level cooling it off there as well.
I tried this and it worked well for me!
