Just like the ocean, my home has distinct and noticeable thermoclines. This time of year, especially at night, it’s most pronounced. Down in the basement, it’s icy cold, and on the first floor it’s perfectly comfortable. Or it would be if the top floor wasn’t so hot. The top floor, the home’s third distinct thermocline, gets hot and tends to stay that way, so my wife likes to turn down the a/c at night, which means the first floor is cold at night.
I’m not sure if this is a Holmes on Homes problem or simply the fact that the a/c unit is trying to force air up 3 floors. I’ll ask the HVAC guy about it when he comes out. That won’t be for a couple of weeks, now – the HVAC company had to reschedule.
