Furniture, dust buildup or improperly located air vents restrict the flow of conditioned air into the upstairs, leading to hot rooms. Another common source of hot upstairs is a dirty filter in your HVAC system, which restricts the flow of cool air into the house and prevents the thermostat from sensing the correct temperature.
