House won't warm to desired heat
We have our thermostat set at 75 degrees (higher than we would normally set it) and it will not get above 65 degrees on the main floor and yet the upstairs is about 85 degrees. We do have a lot of windows on both floors, but most of them have some sort of window treatments covering them once the sun sets. Also, on the first floor the heat comes out of vents in the ceiling, but upstairs the vents are in the floor. Could this be the problem? We do not have a basement and our great room is built on a concrete slab, so can we put vents in the floor? Our furnace is also about 18 years, maybe that is the problem. Please advise. Thank you!
