room temperatures

Recommended Posts

I live in a one level, 3 bedroom townhome rental with a wall unit A/C in living room, hot water baseboard heating, humidistat, and no bathroom fans or ceiling fans. My issue are the room temperatures in the bedrooms/hall area are warmer than the living room/kitchen area. There's no air movement to equalize the temperatures between the areas. When I walk into the hallway there's a warmer temperature and the bedrooms are about 5 degrees warmer. What would you recommend to alleviate this? I have a floor unit air exchanger in the hallway, but that isn't doing the trick. I've thought about a dehumidifier for the upcoming summer to try to keep the bedroom areas cooler, any suggestions?

as you said you have an air flow problem. I'd suggest putting a few window A/C units in at least two bedrooms. I'm not an expert but running a dehumidifier costs in the ballpark of an AC unit and while it removes moisture which brings down the humidity it also kicks off heat.

Besides putting the bedroom AC units in (assuming you can) the best things is to be vigilant on opening windows when it's cooler out to bring cooler air in, pulling shades to block sun, and other things. Our cabin only has one large AC unit and when it's below 90 with some wind we can keep it acceptable with wind flow and fans.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
