Air velocity (??) engineers GITT


May 5, 2021, 10:02 AM

and explain to me if I'm correct.

Thermostat is in the hallway directly above the return. None of the bedrooms have fans yet (plan on buying them this weekend at Lowes). Bedrooms are ice cold at night. Thermostat still says 74 and drops about a degree an hour.

Air coming out the vent is ice cold

Is the problem:

1. Bad thermostat location

2. Not enough air flow out of the bedrooms and into the hallway

And would the ceiling fans fix this issue?

Velocity is a measure of distance over time


May 5, 2021, 10:12 AM

(d/t)

Air is what you breathe. It is about 78% Nitrogen and 21% Oxygen plus other gases.

Water will freeze (become ice) at ~ 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 Celsius.

Take doors off hinges

Run the bathroom exhaust fan 24-7

Put blankets on beds

run thermostat up to where you are comfortable at night

open the winders in the bedrooms

put kerosene heaters in each bedroom

pull a mattress in the hallway and all sleep together on the floor

try different combinations of above until desired effect is achieved

something about milk and a freezer

When is it 74 degrees?


May 5, 2021, 10:21 AM

You said it drops a degree an hour. So is it 66/67 when you wake up?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Eco puts it at 78 during the day


May 5, 2021, 10:23 AM

Got home yesterday at 4:30. AC comes on and stays on. When to bed at 10 and thermostat said 72. Ending temp was 68. Set the thermostat to 72 and it went off and on all night to keep the temp.

Apparently 72 in the hallway is 65 in the bedrooms

Close the air registers in the bedrooms***

Did in the kids rooms. I like my room ice cold


May 5, 2021, 10:26 AM

I don't like my AC unit running for 6 hours a day when it's only 80 outside

Should be cooler in bedroom than the hall


May 5, 2021, 10:26 AM [ in reply to Eco puts it at 78 during the day ]

Bedrooms have cold air coming out. Hall has warm air being pulled back to the return.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That makes sense. Probably need to set the thermostat


May 5, 2021, 10:27 AM

higher so the bedrooms are not as cold and the unit doesn't run continually

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

What is the problem?


May 5, 2021, 10:23 AM

If the bedrooms are too cold, turn up the thermostat.

Is your issue with the temperature reading on the thermostat vs what the bedrooms are?

That's his problem.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-clemsonrulez08.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Please forgive me, @IneligibleUser


Yes. It's apparently 5-10 degrees colder in the bedrooms


May 5, 2021, 10:26 AM [ in reply to What is the problem? ]

than what's on the thermostat literally right outside the bedroom doors.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I like your funny words magic man


close the air registers some.


May 5, 2021, 10:29 AM

Leave the bedroom doors open. Verify the temp at the thermostat location is what the thermostat is saying it is.

The temp differential from the return to the registers should be ~20 degrees.
