Well now my dilema. How to add returns 15 years after the fact without ripping open a lot of finished rooms. My house is new enough that all returns are ducted the whole run. Not like the old days where returns were carved out of open stud bays in interior walls.
That may be a way to get the airflow to work if I could hijack some used bays to convert to return air pathways. I assume though the usage of metal ducting for returns is for some good reason. Is it a bad idea to think of adding returns without metal ducting the whole way back to the cold air plenum?
Any other secrets of the trade to add return air paths?
I take it you didn't see my thought of a duct booster fan in the return path as a useful way to get an increased return out of the 6" round return I have. |
