I'd ask @tester101 if he plays with his registers bi-annually to adjust the temp difference of the floors or if it's a negligible factor. I've installed them but I don't have one myself and now that I think about it, most of them have been split systems. | |

Since I have floors/ceilings between my first and second floor, the stack effect doesn't help move air throughout my house very effectively. Commonly the only place where air can move upward, is through a single stairway. The problem is that all the cool air upstairs that the warm air is to displace, has to also move through this same singe path. My upstairs is warmer in the summer, and cooler in the winter. I have a high efficiency, low blower speed furnace. | |
