In this YouTube short, Derek Cole explains why the upstairs of a house often feels hotter than the downstairs. He notes that heat naturally rises, so the upper floor tends to be warmer. He points out that many homes have a single HVAC unit and a thermostat located downstairs, which controls the temperature for the entire house. Because the thermostat measures the cooler downstairs temperature, the system runs longer to heat the upstairs, leading to an uncomfortable temperature imbalance. As a result, occupants often lower the thermostat dramatically to cool the downstairs, making the lower level uncomfortably cold while still not fully addressing the upstairs heat.
