It’s 36-37° in my first floor right now. I’m freaking out

There must be air infiltration down there. Any outside doors ought to be blanketed or something.

It's a boiler. I'm wondering if all the rads are hot. If you have radiators that aren't hot how about trying to bleed air out of them?

House is poorly insulated. Currently on hold with 24 hour HVAC to get a peace of mind

My house is as well. One room gets really really cold but a whole floor being 30degree difference is wild. Did you just move in?

Nah been here about 4 years just never got around to insulation. Landlord was going to sell to me but I’m probably going to pass now. You don’t think my house will freeze overnight do you?

I mean I have ice on the inside of my windows due to the vast temp/humidity disparity. Freezing seems a likely occurrence but your taking the right steps calling hvac but it seems to be more then hvac.
