Today's question... Duct sealing
I was getting poor airflow to my 2 bedrooms on my top floor.
The heating/cooling blower is 2 stories down in the basement. I sealed up every horizontal duct seam I could get to in my basement and it really did help the airflow upstairs. I found I was losing alot of air in the basement ducts before it even got moving along the way to all the registers in the house. Anyway, should I seal all the returns as well? Would this make my airflow even better? |

Logically it would make your air cleaner because it would force the air to
go thru your return filter but I don't believe it would affect air flow. "Postal68" wrote in message . .. I was getting poor airflow to my 2 bedrooms on my top floor.

I really need to buy a couple of rolls of the good tape and do what it takes to crawl around up there and make it right. Steve |
