Since we've moved in 3 years ago - our master bedroom has always run hot.
-Early 90s two-story house with decent tree shading (bedroom gets almost no direct sun)
-Two ACs that are probably 10-15yo, not certain of SEER and such, but no service tech has mentioned them being in bad shape.
-Rest of the downstairs, which is open concept to the upstairs cools reasonably well. Our front room office, which is more closed off is very cool.
-The bedroom above our master also runs hot.
-We have an Ecobee setup, at night we use the bedroom sensor as the only downstairs input reading and the system cannot keep up to where it gives an error/alert. Regardless of what we set the thermostat to, the bedroom will be 74-77, while the rest of the downstairs will drop to high 60s.
-There is barely any airflow coming out of the vents - either in that room or the one in attached bathroom.
-In that room there is one small 1x1 return that is low to the ground. Just outside the room in entryway is the main return for the downstairs. The bedroom door is typically closed when occupied.
-Windows are all new and high quality. Home has fresh blown in insulation in the attic. Roof is very overdue to be replaced although it survived Beryl seemingly unscathed.
I am about to call someone else in, as it seems even worse post-Beryl outage...thinking maybe something went further wrong. I've discussed it with some other AC techs that have come and none seem to have any good suggestions and until now I wasn't frustrated enough to address it. I feel like even if I replaced our ACs it would still be bad and wonder if something like a dedicated mini-split system in the room will be required.
Anyway, curious on next steps or good questions to ask a tech. Thanks!
