00:08 we find in most homes here in California
00:12 that are two stories that the upstairs
00:13 unit the upstairs part of the house can
00:16 be anywhere from five to ten degrees
00:18 hotter than the downstairs usually this
00:22 is caused because heat rises and there's
00:26 no way to pull the heat out of upstairs
00:27 so we get asked the question all the
00:29 time will this new system make upstairs
00:31 the same temperature as downstairs then
00:34 there's several different ways to
00:34 achieve that to happened where you can
00:37 have the same temperature upstairs and
00:38 downstairs whether it be adding returns
00:40 or zoning or maybe a second system or a
00:43 mini split things of that nature but
00:45 it's really important that you address
00:46 that with people because you don't want
00:48 to have downstairs be a comfortable 70
00:50 degrees and upstairs you know being 78
00:54 to 80 degrees in the winter and then in
00:56 the summertime downstairs be freezing
00:58 and you're still sweating sweating
00:59 upstairs as you try to go to bed so it's
01:02 important that you're looking at
01:03 removing the heat for air conditioning
01:05 so having a returned upstairs or maybe a
01:07 zone system and adding the heat to the
01:10 home in a fashion that actually heats
01:11 the house you're not just pouring it in
01:13 there so again that goes back to
01:15 properly sizing and properly designing
01:17 the equipment for the needs of not only
01:18 you but your home as well
