John,

In the past, we have done this for our clients. We install a bath type fan in the ceiling or attic to move the stagnate air near the highest point of the ceiling on the second floor. We use an inline remotely mounted fan up in the attic for this job. I use only Fantech or Panasonic because they make a really good product. It hooks up to a 4 or 5 inch vent. Paint it to match the ceiling. Depend on the size of the fan, it can draw air from three or four locations. What you need to do is to remove the dead air into the attic. The air in the attic is much hotter then the air trapped under the ceiling. So you kill two birds with one stone. I would also consider having an attic fan install just to get the hot air out of there. If you to do this, make sure you install timers so the motor will shut off so it wouldn't burn itself out. You WILL forget to shut them off. They are very, very quiet. You will not hear them. I install lots of them in people's bathrooms. In my own home, I have a big Fantec drawing air through two small 4" vents neat the ridge in my family room. It works pretty well. Heck of a lot cheaper then a mini split system.
