I've been told this issue has been discussed before, but I can't seem to find
the right search words. So if you know of a thread, please drop me the link.
Otherwise.... I'd like to discuss it.
I have a great room with an 18' ceiling and a beefy fireplace. Adjacent are
three loft bedrooms, with a balcony overlooking the great room. As one would
expect, the heat collects up there and roasts us out at night. That is until the
wood expires, then we freeze our gonads off... on account of the fact that we
had to go to bed in shorts to handle the heat!
I've tried using the furnace blower to move the air around, but it's not all that
effective. For some odd reason there's only one return duct in the entire
bedroom level.
I've considered putting in some stand alone ducts in the floor of each bedroom
with fans to pull air down, thus moving it around the house more.
Any other ideas?
Also... what's the deal with the crappy temperature switch on the blower of the
Quadrafire 7100P. Isn't it supposed to turn on when the unit is at a certain temp
range? I have to use the over-ride, because it never turns on with the temp switch.
Ok... off my soap box.
