Fixing Unwanted Thermal Transfer

Geo NR Gee · 08-05-12, 12:52 AM

I live in a 2 story 1800 square foot house, built in 1998. It's exterior walls are constructed with 2 by 4 wood studs. The walls on the west side are 3 to 4 degrees warmer than interior walls in the afternoon. Thats on the first floor. Second floor is 5 or more.

What has been most effective in reducing the transfer of heat/cold? Also, how about cost effective?

AC, you mentioned it somewhere, but it eludes me.
