transferring heat from a loft to the bedrooms

- My only struggle with our loft is that it gets so darn hot sometimes. My husband is a genius, and came up with a great way to distribute heat more evenly throughout the cabin, reducing the heat in the lost and warming the bedrooms.
A few hours, some ductwork, a small fan and a little electric wiring fixed the whole problem.
gotta' love those wholesome, Mid-western women! great video!
Love this video...I have a similar problem and now I know
Looks good. Good job on that. :) If you want to take it a step further you could tie in a thermostat so that when the bedroom gets cold it will automatically turn on the tube axial fan. It would keep from having to go flip the switch and once the room gets up to temp it would shut the fan off. Of course heat would accumulate in attic when off but I doubt it would be as dramatic as it was. You are a trooper with that work!! Thanks for sharing and stay safe. - Tom
Thanks so much! It was a fun project. I love your idea; I may have to make that adjustment in the future. Thanks for sharing that! Stay safe and take care!
That looks like a whole lot of work
It sure seems a lot simpler to mount the duct work on the wall instead of in the wall. Thank you for the idea.
may be simpler but not at neat
Love this, how'd last winter and start of this winter work out? We have the exact same problem in our log cabin. Seems like a simple solution.
What model fan is that ? Were did you get the fan
Good job! Looking to try something similar. How has this system worked out for you? Can you tell me about the duct transitions and sizes you used? Thank you
How is the noise level with the electric fans as well as is the loft much more comfortable now as the heat is dispersed in the lower part of the cabin? Nice place by the way!
Can u guys help me with loft bunker in Lake Isabella California
I thought heat and warm air naturally rises by the laws of convection.
"The second law of thermodynamics says that heat cannot spontaneously flow from a colder to a hotter reservoir but only with the expenditure of mechanical energy. This is taken as a postulate or law in thermodynamics. Hot air rises because when you heat air (or any other gas for that matter), it expands. When the air expands, it becomes less dense than the air around it. The less dense hot air then floats above the denser cold air much like wood floats on water because wood is less dense than water."
