A: This property was built with one zone for the HVAC system. However, we were able to add a system that helps with the redirection of air flow upstairs. We weren't unfortunately able to add this for the basement.

To increase the temperature in the basement, the Nest thermostat in the family room needs to be adjusted. During the winter, we recommend keeping the upstairs thermostat at 70 – 75 degrees. This will take about 30 minutes, but the basement should get significantly warmer.

This system will hopefully keep the house warmer during the winter and cooler during the summer. Adjusting the temperature on these pucks will get the HVAC system to either send more hot or cold air into the room or stop sending air. This is not perfect but does help with the temperature from our testing.
