It can be very difficult to keep every room in a home at a comfortable temperature. Heat rises upstairs, leaving the main floor cool and second floor bedrooms hot. Cool air settles into the basement. Windows to the south soak up the sun, while harsh winds cool the north side of the house.
Add some of today’s most desired home design features, and the problem gets worse. Large glass expanses, cathedral ceilings, solariums, lofts – they all can cause temperatures to vary dramatically from one part of a house to the next. Expecting one thermostat in a single room to control all this is asking the impossible.
