Trees/shade definitely make a difference. We get undisturbed afternoon sun until sunset beating down on our living room and dining room. Also upstairs master bedroom. We caved yesterday as it gets unbearable. My parents in Mississauga (nice treed lot) can get by with windows open.

No trees here. Bedroom faces southwest and gets hammered all day/until sunset. Rarely a decent breeze through the windows. We are way more conscious than our neighbours, but shit just gets unbearable when trying to sleep(even with a fan).

Re: Anyone else not turn on A/C yet?

I'm loving the heat, but had to turn on the A/C because the dog started panting...House was 23C/24C
I find it depends on the year of the house. My dad's house is older 1980's build is always hot and has tree's blocking the sun the entire West side of the house, think 29C/30C. Mom's house mid 1990's build stays relatively cool without ac on, 26C/27C & my house 2010 build 24C/25C.
Dad's house is unbearable at anytime of the day without ac on. Outside is usually cooler.

Re: Anyone else not turn on A/C yet?

I'm thinking of doing two things to help this year with the heat on the second floor. The first one is easy enough which is to not only close the vents in the basement but to block them somehow. I know they have internal flaps but I'm thinking to stuff some towels or something in there to really block them off.
The second thing I've been contemplating for a long time and just never bit the bullet and thats to add more insulation to my attic. I currently have the blown in type. Anyone DIY?

I don't remember if your basement was finished, but don't block the vents. Basements get a lot more humid even though they are colder and by not allowing the damp air to re circulate the place will get mold

I finished my basement this past year. I've kept my vents closed ever since. I'd leave the return registers open but close off the forced air vents. Further to my point above I was planning on blocking them off.

Wat?
Basements run more humid regardless...
Anyway for a finished basement I wouldnt block vents, but it's not my house.
Blocked vents over the winter are fine, in the summer it's a completely different ball game. Also the "savings" are hardly quantifiable.

I need to figure this shit out. my cold storage is a little moldy, with the fish tank it adds humidity to the air downstairs and i don't think it's circulating out properly. it's like the house is too sealed up.

Yea you are screwed man, you will need to run them or the place will mold, if it hasn't already.
First thing I would do is buy a humidity meter for 5 bucks from home depot so you can at least quantify where you are at. I know a lot of people like to throw around advice without numbers...so start there so you can at least make an informed decision.

I was eyeballing all the fancy thermostats but ended up with a simple Honeywell programmable one.
The others sound cool with the features but at the end of the day it will be a one zone unit that will make the rest of the house too hot or too cold depending on what floor you have the remote receivers on, no different than a basic central unit.
For me, I set my thermostat (when on) to 23C whether it is heat or AC so the rest of the fancy stuff goes unused.

Pull your t stat from the wall and check how many wires you have on the existing wire...if it's an older home you might need to run a new wire (that's what I had to do in order to run the new fancy t stats). Was disappointed to find out after the fact.

for those trying to hold out why don't you get as much air re circulation going as possible? We sick a box fan in the window upstairs and open the main floor windows. The house changes temp as fast as the outdoor temps drop at night so by the time we go to bed its very nice.

We need to compare apples to apples, because I am in a bungalow my main floor (bedrooms + everything) is the equivalent to a normal house second floor, all of you are posting "basement level data" if we are to compare to my house. 27 on main floor (bungalow level), but my basement, which is raised and is technically the first floor of a regular house (where most of your thermostats are) is at 23 degrees. I have temp/humidity meters all over this joint, that's how i balanced my ducts.

Shit yo I don't have a thermometer lol. My 3rd floor temps aren't much different from the 2nd floor since my family room is open to the 3rd floor (17 foot ceiling foo). We did put up blackout curtains in my daughters room to control the heat otherwise it does get stuffy (room faces south)

Despite best efforts thermostats are not the same. Nor location or home design. So we compare basic temp figures it's not exactly apples to apples.
Biggest differences are location and home design

There is a counter argument here. I cover mine and I don't have problems with animals, but it's sealed pretty well lol bungee cords.
The issue with leaving it open is if you have a lot of trees around leaves will get in and start rotting the base away so for anyone in that situation you better cover it or clean it out yearly.

Did some tests in the house today:
Basement 21c 50% humid
Main 24c 47%
Top 24c 50%
Guess I did a good job on insulating the basement. I've never had to run a dehumidifier down there as it's never been an issue.

Main floor is 25 at 50% humidity and basement is at 20 and 70% :|. I think humidity distribution is different between two story and bungalow.
It's also fully insulated, but it is raised. No ac on just standard temp as of now

I think it's most because my basement is s fully seperste unit and closed off to main floor, so the two levels don't mix at all. That's the only thing I can think of and also it's not that mine is humid it's more that loudsubz is less humid than average
