Air/Duct Circulation
We are moving our son up to the upper level of our home. We have duct and
vents up there, but the air circulation from the top floor from the basement blower is so weak that it barely keeps it warm and you can barely the air conditioned air if at all. Our system had a new blower fan put in about 7 years ago and the air circulation is fine except for the upper 2 bedrooms. Is there any way I can increase the air flow up there? |

First, make sure those bedrooms have good Return air access to the blower! Run ample sized direct return ducts if possible. The upstairs rooms are probably supplied through smaller sq. in. wall ducts. If so, run larger diameter duct off the plenum with a reducer to the wall boot. If duct is way oversized use two reducers that bring the diameter down to the boot intake size. If possible run more than one duct up to those bedrooms. Read the duct sizing page linked below. - udarrell -- PROPER A/C UNIT & DUCTWORK Sizing is over 70% of Operating Efficiency http://www.udarrell.com/proper_cfm_b...syste ms.html Solving - External Static Pressure (ESP) http://www.udarrell.com/udarrell-air-conditioning.html |

One of these might be your answer... http://www.suncourt.com/EQ2.html http://www.rewci.com/dubofor4x10o.html http://www.atrendyhome.com/inlineductfan.html Morvin |
