Uneven heating and cooling is an issue that two and three level houses have with one level being way hotter or colder than the other. One of the causes of this issue are inadequate duct work that isn’t designed to be the most efficient for the size and layout of the house. Unmaintained duct work is also another issue so you should get your ducts maintained regularly to makes sure they stay efficient. You can fix this issue in a couple ways. Relocating the thermostat to a room that isn’t the hallway upstairs because the heat rising from downstairs gives the thermostat a false reading so moving the thermostat into a room instead of the hallway will make sure the reading is from the actual temperature being served and not a thermal effect. You can also have a zoning system put in which divides duct work and has two thermostats controlling one air condition unit, this can be expensive. One last option is having 2 furnaces or air conditioners installed to meet the needs of heating and cooling in the larger houses.
