Well, the upstairs thermostat at 69 might be a good place to start.

Your house is haunted and the spirits are taking the energy out of the air.
You haven't seen any floating hatchets or anything lately have you?

Freezing temperatures are common symptoms of a haunting or enchantation. Dont get attacked while pooping! www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=493843

Wife is 8 months pregnant and we sleep in a room with a 115lb and a 80lb dog. It gets hot in there even at 69 degrees and no sheets. Our monthly electric bill is around $130. That includes leaving 2 computers on, 1 'streetlight' (mercury vapor), and 2 500watt floods on most of the night in addition to an electric dryer and all electric appliances. |

LOL, that reminds me of when my wife was pregnant while we were stationed in Guam. It NEVER gets below 70 there and here I am running around the house in sweats because of the thermostat setting I had to use to keep my little "oven" cool.

Solution is to take a hint and move out of your parent's basement. They're trying to freeze you out

Heck I keep it cooler then the 69 in my room, helps keep the lyme flare ups down. Then again I've been known to have it hit 80 something in my room because of the chills (I just have to let my pc run, still live with my parents on disability, 22) Ahh I just love window AC units.

A lot of installs I've seen are pretty sloppy. The place I bought couldn't keep the second floor cool. I discovered the ductwork screwed up. The hole cut in the duct for the second floor return was cut one joist off. The A/C was pulling all the return air from the basement.
I'd suggest you get a good HVAC guy to give it a through look see. Maybe airflow needs rebalanced, duct leaks fixed, etc. |

I live in Southeast Texas. It's in the 90s and 110% humidity.
What's a basement? What's freezing?

You have a place in your home that's 56 degrees and you're complaining?

I usually set the thermostat upstairs to a few degrees higher than is comfortable. That way, it's nice and comfy downstairs when I'm down there.

Can you put a small, say 6", duct between the house and basement? then put a small 12v solar fan on it, draw warm air down ( or push cool air up).

Move your basment to south central texas, we could use it.

 The fact that the upstairs part of the house is surrounded by 84 degree air, plus has a roof exposed to the radiant heating of sunlight, while the basement is surrounded by 56 degree dank, dark earth might have something to do with it.Secondly, cold air sinks. Always has and always will. Without a bunch of blower fans, or separate thermostats, Mother Nature will have her way with you down there. |

First, I'd check that basement for radon gas, since you have it sealed up tight. Then, as your nieghbor, I'd take the supressed 10/22 and kill them friggin lights.

When were you stationed at Guam? My family was stationed there in the early 80's and I remember the USS George Washington was out of there. It was a SSBN and I guess they made it a slow attack boat. Max |

Try closing off the ducts in your basement. Up until a few years ago, ours would be like 62 degrees. Then my wife got into tropical fish and that had to change. Myself, I hate the heat and humidity here in MD, so I keep it around 76. Basically the wife has to keep the heaters set higher on her fish tanks during the summer. Now I did get a really big de-humidifier and that actually keeps it a few degrees cooler in the basement then before. |
