As some of you know, I moved into a new house at the beginning of the summer. It is a two story home with an unfinished attic in Stonington, CT. I mounted the remote thermostat about 4 feet above the floor joist.
Yesterday's outside temp topped at 91 F, inside temp 78 F (A/C off all windows closed), and attic 112 F. When I left for work in the morning outside was 73F, inside 74F, attic 75F
I’m happy with the interior only creeping up 4 degrees (A/C off windows closed) Is the 21 degree differential temp ideal for an attic in the N. East? The roof is black asphalt shingles and ridge and soffit vent setup. I’ll continue to take some readings and get your feedback before I look into getting additional ventilation up there.
