I need to figure out HVAC. One of the rooms upstairs does not get enough heat and I have to run an electric heater all night long. I am new to house owning and need to hire a professional to do HVAC check. I wish I knew a trick or two :)

Ah I hear you man, when a room is cold that sucks! What we did ourselves to put a band-aid on the issue was to plastic off the windows. A lot of heat loss happens from poorly insulated windows! Our windows in our bedrooms still have plastic on them to this day, we haven't replaced them but the windows in the living room we replaced and holy shit it's like night and day!
Make some small adjustments to the environment and you can get some pretty big improvements in temperature. We also added electrical outlet insulators. These little foam things that go around the outlet and block drafts from coming in.
For the HVAC issue, it could be something as easy as a clogged duct in the ceiling or attic or something more complicated like an under-performing unit that's just simply not big enough to push the air.
What type of heat do you have? Is it baseboard, forced air or iron units?
