For those of you who have 3+ AC zones in your house and a bonus room: Do you run the upstairs AC? This is my first year in a multi-zone house and the unit cooling the bonus room upstairs is working it's arse off. I had the AC contractor come check it out just to be sure and it's fine. It's just hot as hell apparently. We have the thermostat set on 85 but since we're only up there on occasion I was wondering if anyone just leaves theirs off? All we keep up there is the shite my wife hoards, kids extra toys and workout equipment.

A space that should've been an attic but ended up becoming living space as a "bonus" because you could fit it in the plan/budget. I'm not 100% sure how to qualify it. It's a term thrown around by wives and home builders.

Oh, so a spare bedroom? Yeah, I run the a/c into mine to keep all my junk cool.

in the summer I run my hurricane window unit in my bedroom so I don't have to blast the entire house cold.
