Thermostat ?

[captain71]

We went to do a service call today. The house is huge The home owner wants to move the thermostat to his room because stays warmer there then any other place in the house . He already has 4 registers on the room. The problem is there is no way to run a stat wire to his room . Is there like a wireless thermostat that we can put in his room and do away the one he already has?

is there a return in this 4 supply room?? if not, no tstat is gonna be accurate for total home comfort. he may just be dumping mass amounts of air into one room, making it warmer/cooler than the rest of the house.

T-stats just tell the unit how long to stay on / to meet set point.
Is the heater size correct/what about heater output/cfm/ many factors
to check out .What is the temp. at the supply vents?
Good Luck

Smitty has it pegged....................you need a return or at least a transfer duct.

Yes they have a return in that room They have a 14x14. The way this house is built there is no way to add or change anything in this house this house is 12,500 square feet. this house has 6 units in it.

The way this house is built the trunk line runs in the basement and the basement has sheetrock. We tried closing other vents to help that room but he said that didnt help. we ware going to change the duct work and put 7 inch runs but no way to change it everything is enclosed I dont know if closing the return will help any.

Closing the return will most likely make it worse. Have you measured the airflow to that room? As others have said, moving the stat will make the unit run longer to cool that room which will make the others cooler.
