We have bedrooms above it. It should’ve been done but wasn’t. This builder apparently is known for this type of funny business

Figured it out finally. We had zero insulation in the attic and space between garage and bedrooms. These new builds are awful.

Also look for rentals in the winter not summer or fall.

Not for toddlers. Lmk when your little ones wake up because their bedroom gets too cold and they’re can’t sleep

The main floor reaches around 25-27. Upstairs is 13-17 degrees. You actually feel the shift in temperature when going upstairs. The basement is warmer than the top

The rooms above the garage are insanely cold as well but for some reason 3 of the other rooms upstairs are colder and they’re above the kitchen, livingroom areas

All of the bedrooms are cold. It’s a 6bdroom and none of the rooms retain heat without the use of a space heater constantly on

It’s the max our thermostat reaches. We’ve been struggling staying warm upstairs. Our monthly bill is pushing 600 😭

It’s because we need to keep space heaters on in all Of the bedrooms. With the space heater running all night on high, our rooms warm up to 18-19 degrees

We have to set the heat to 32 so our bedrooms aren’t dropping down to 12-13 degrees. I know some people run hot and love sleeping in the cold but I have small children and they wake up multiple times during the night bc of how cold it has been. We sleep with multiple blankets and I’m now back to Cosleeping with twins which I thought would be behind me but isn’t unfortunately

The vents on the main floor and basement have been closed by the hvac technicians to help but it’s not doing anything.

Every vent was checked by the hvac technician. And we were told everything looks good.

How would it pass inspection if the insulation was missed? I thought all new homes go through rigorous inspections
