Cold air down large staircases
Hi, I have 1500 sq ft upstairs serviced by what should be an oversized 3 ton ac. It can't quite keep up when the temp is high 90s inside is over 80.
There are two wide and open staircase going upstairs. Are they significantly contributing to the issue? How much of the cold air is "lost" to the other floor?
Thanks. Steve
