QuestionAre there any devices that will force cold air from the basement ducts upstairs to the bedrooms?Community AnswerThe only one I can think of without spending a lot of money is to close down a little on the supply and return vent louvers in your basement. This will direct supply air (cool air) more to your rooms and have better return air from your rooms to cool more efficiently. Also, keep bedroom doors shut during the day if possible. Areas outside of bedrooms and bathrooms sometimes do not have supply or return and can get considerably hot.
