I can feel the cool air coming out of the vents up here...just never seems to cool the rooms up here.

Our thermostat is set at 69 degrees. Last night, the thermostat on the baby's monitor was at 77 degrees.

I've been told this is common when your house only has one zone.

I have some of the same issues, but not horribly. When it gets really hot the a/c can't keep up. - pmb Jun 11, 11:57

Our place is like that. In winter the downstairs is unbearably cold. In summer, downstairs feels much nicer. At least 10 degree diff. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 11, 11:55
Could also be poor insulation in the roof. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 11, 11:54 2
- Maybe. During the winter, we have the thermostat in the low 70s, yet the upstairs is in the mid 60s. - kelly Jun 11, 11:56 1
  - Our house inside is 2.5 levels and it's always warmer upstairs.....opening the upstairs windows in the early morning and keeping the downstairs - CrankYanker Jun 11, 12:02
