Circulate Air Between Floors

What surprised me is that this morning the temperatures were the same.

Circulate air between floors.

First if you also have forced air turn the fan on to help circulate heat. There are 2 hvac systems both sitting in the basement. An inline booster fan would push or pull air depending on the season. If you don t you ll simply feel the chill from the cool breeze they create.

By installing pass through air grilles in bedroom doors or jumper ducts in the ceiling between rooms to convey supply airflow back to the central return duct neutral air balance in each room is. We had a hot day here yesterday 34c 93f and by sunset the first floor was 22c 72f while the upstairs was around 24 5c 76f. This doesn t surprise me as hot air obviously rises plus the 1st floor has the benefit of the slab heat sink. And also keep them running at their lowest speed.

The level to level ventilator fan shown moves existing cool air from one level from the basement or a mini split system for example to another level of the house through an adjustable sleeve installed through the floor ceiling. I don t see a lot of air mixing between floors in my partly finished house. Very basic plan is to use some rigid ducting to reach from the ceiling of the 1st floor to the ceiling of the 2nd floor in the same room as the stove. This is by using supplemental mechanical balanced heat recovery ventilation systems.

The smaller 40kbtu system is zoned for a large south west facing 1st floor office with many widows and the basement. Have a professional contractor install a cold air return gadget in your basement. Keep the forced air system thermostat fan on instead of auto position to help circulate the air during the hottest and coldest periods of time. Within a few minutes the temperature should equalize between the floors there s another more advanced and much more expansive way of improving air ventilation and air circulation in homes especially multi story buildings.

A ventilator fan can blow conditioned air up or down depending on the position of the blower unit. The larger 100kbtu system is zoned for the 1st and 2nd floor.
