How hard is it to add a return duct to my heat/air system?
Hi everyone,
I've got a room that is my home office and I have to keep the door shut in
it all day. With the door shut, there is only a vent and no return air duct
in the room so the room gets warm during summer. I can see the cardboard
looking (not metal) ductwork and the return air looks like a box with silver
covering and the air ducts themselves are through a round silver flexible
line.
Here are my questions:
1. I think I can add the duct to my room pretty easily. How easy is it to
work with this cardboard ductwork? What tools will I need? Do I just need
to splice my return duct into the existing one? I have one not too far from
my office that is one of 2 main return ducts (in the hallway).
2. Should I consider adding another vent as well?
Thanks,
Alan
