It's currently 71 degrees upstairs and 67 degrees downstairs. I turned the heat off around 9am when I found my wife had the sliding door open upstairs. I'm always saying we can have windows open or heat, but not both at the same time.

I wonder how much effort it would take to put in another air handler for the bottom level? There are returns on both levels already, and plenty of space in the "boiler room" for more equipment and ducting. I'd like to make downstairs into a self-sustained living quarters, which means finer temperature control, a door on the stairs, and some way to cook food.
