Looking for suggestions to move air through the house. My first floor stays warm but the upstairs does not get above 63 degrees unless I am really cranking my Mt Vernon Insert.
I am trying to heat around 3200 feet and currently have a celing fan in the same room, a corner fan pushing the air from the room and a celing fan in the kitchen. The house is 10 years old with limited drafts. The living room where the stove is has a cathedral ceiling and its connected to an large open concept kitchen. There are two rooms attached to the kitchen with a hallway running to the front of the house. I am trying to get ideas to push the warmer air to these two rooms and the hallway to get the heat up the stairs to the second floor.
I was thinking about putting vents in the first floor ceiling to the second floor but told this is a major fire hazard.
I tried turning on the furnance blower and use the fan intake to circulate the air but I found the round trip cooled off the air to much.
Thanks,
Leo
