As of this winter there's a significant temp. change between 2 rooms. the family room and the laundry/utility room. our house is split level so both rooms sit below ground but not completely. It's in the utility room where it is cold. The furnace and water heater is also in that room. I've inspected that room, top to bottom and can't find a source for a leak in cold air. Windows are in good shape, dryer is vented and kept closed at all times, exhaust hose is new and sealed with silicone. Furnace and water heater are both vented and sealed properly. Granted that room is made of painted masonry brick on the inside and red brick outside and somewhat sits underground, the temp change is annoying. The family room is somewhat comfortable, but we have to run a heater after sunset to additionally heat it for to match the rest of house. The ulility room compared to the rest of the house has to be at least a 5* colder than the rest of the house, including the family room with the heater running. Anyone got ideas? we already have the furnace at 68 which is plenty but the utlity room i would say is somewhere in the lower 60's my dog doesn't even sleep in there anymore something ain't right -Mike-
