My sibling has a triple story property with a lot of space.
The fourth floor of her property is essentially a lofted family room, but it’s absolutely large plus has a good view from the window.
Whenever our entire family stays at her house, I sleep in the fourth story family room… For the most part, it’s a absolutely comfortable space, however, there is one thing that absolutely bothers me while I’m sleeping there, plus it’s the heat! Even though there are three levels to the house, there is only one Heating and A/C system plus one central thermostat! No matter how low she sets the thermostat temperature, the fourth floor is consistently super hot. All the heat rises, especially during the nights while I’m trying to sleep. There is a small A/C unit on the window, but it’s loud plus only cools a small radius directly in front of it. On more than one occasion, I’ve had to sleep on the floor in front of the window A/C unit. I’ve complained about the lack of cool air to my sibling on various occasions, but she’s never done anything about it. It wasn’t until I brought up ductless mini split systems that she finally took action. I feel she liked the fact that ductless mini split systems didn’t need to connect to existing ductwork, because she had one installed recently! She told me how affordable it was plus how effective it was at cooling the fourth floor. She also said that she enjoyed how she could turn the ductless mini split system on plus off depending on when she’d be using the fourth floor family room.
