Two year old designer house. Problem was initially noted on the "New Home Checklist" right after purchase. HVAC installation company unable to find a problem with their system. Warranty Department seems unwilling or unable to fix.
SteveO,
Back up North, we had a cold room, and as noted above single zone heating system. One of the fixes I found that actually worked was to use insulating paint. The link below is for a ceramic additive that is added to any paint that makes it insulating.

Insulating Paint Additive Makes Paint Insulate

Please do your own research, but we had good success with the product. Also, this may be the lowest cost option, after a small space heater, but this has no monthly cost, and it is do it yourself.

NOTE: VERY IMPORTANT. Since you are adding the insulating material to the paint, YOU WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT FINISH TO THE NEW PAINT. It will be a rougher finish. I actually have some of this material left over, so if you would like to paint a small area to see the difference, send me a PM.
