I currently live in a split level house. The bottom level is partially below ground. The main level is ground level with my family room and kitchen, and also a room that is windows on 3 sides. Below the main level is a crawl space that is at the same level at the lower level but obviously sealed off from the rest of the house. The upstairs level is above ground and has my bedrooms and office. Thermostat is in the hall way between my main level and upstairs.
The upstairs is always warm, the main level is always cold, and the bottom level is just right. I set my Nest like a Jew at 65* but upstairs gets up to 72*. I have a electric baseboard heater in the room with windows on 3 sides on main level but it is way to expensive to run all the time. Anything I can do to heat this house more efficient? I was thinking about closing the vents upstairs but I am not sure if that would actually make my furnace work harder.
Discuss.
