Many people live in a two-story home in the Vegas area. With many homes not having a basement, to get the added space, builders will build the houses up rather than down. This can pose some cooling challenges though. It can leave many homeowners with a comfortable main level and a roasting upper level. There are some things that homeowners can do to help counter the heat this summer. Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning is here to talk all about what needs to be done to keep your second level cooler.

How Do I Keep My Upper Level Cool?

While it may be difficult to keep your upper level cool, it isn’t impossible. You can solve the problem completely, actually. If your upper level is always warm, you may have an HVAC system that is undersized. This can pose obvious problems. The best way to fix it is to have another HVAC system installed in your home to keep your upper level comfortable as well. There will be a second thermostat that is responsible for setting the temperature upstairs. That second unit will only be responsible for cooling upstairs and will have a much easier time keeping it cool.

How Can I Keep My Upstairs Cool Without a Second AC Unit?

It may not make sense for everyone to have another HVAC system installed in their home. Here are some tips that can help lessen the heat in your upper level this summer.
– Ceiling Fans: One of the best ways to cool down a room is to get the air moving. Ceiling fans can be one of the most helpful tools when it comes to keeping you more comfortable in your upper level.
– Window Coverings: You should take advantage of the blinds or curtains found in your second story. The sun shining in your windows can heat your upstairs rooms up considerably. By closing the blinds or curtains, you eliminate the heat that comes in through your windows.
– Adjust Registers: The registers that you will find throughout your main floor can be partially closed to help push that cool air up to your upper level. Don’t close them all the way so that you can stay cool while spending time on your main level though.
– Attic Insulation: It is important that you have the right amount of insulation in your attic. The hot air found in your attic is one of the reasons your upper level heats up so much. Having the right amount of insulation up there will have a big impact on how cool your second story stays.
