I put in a new heat pump and ductwork in my house this year so it's my first winter using the system. I'm noticing that the upstairs is getting much hotter than the downstairs (it's a split level). Using the Ecobee Andre one sensors I canreally visualize the difference. If I key it to work off the downstairs when we aren't sleeping then the bedroom is not and at night it keys off the bedroom so the downstairs is freezing. This has been partially mitigated by modifying the schedules but I'm now wondering if the system isn't balanced right. When it kicks on there's enough pressure upstairs to close doors and when they are closed you can really feel the air coming under them.
My hvac contractor bailed so aside from paying someone to come professionally balance the system is it safe to partially close cents upstairs? I've read about system and ductwork damage... Have also kept the baseboards it just seems counterproductive to have to use them as well...
