Using offset temperatures is a great way to keep your 2-story home comfortable year-round.

SUMMER SETTING: If one independent HVAC controls the bottom floor and another controls the top floor, then each unit should have its own thermostat. Remember in science class when you cold air sinks and hot air rises? Well, this is where stuff we learned in school applies to real life. In the summer you should set the bottom floor’s thermostat about 2°F warmer than the thermostat upstairs. The cold air from upstairs will help keep the downstairs more comfortable and reduce wear on the equipment, because the cold air will sink down and keep the temperature in the whole house the same for upstairs and downstairs.

WINTER SETTING: We can apply the opposite setting offset temperatures in the winter too. For winter heating, set the thermostat downstairs 2°F degrees warmer than the thermostat upstairs. As heat rises from the first floor, it will help keep the second floor comfortable too without wasting energy.
