Save wood and electricity from another trick from Vic
« on: December 08, 2012, 08:03:25 PM »
Guys and gals I may come across as a dumbass or maybe a smart person? If you have a basement under you home and both the supply and return ducts are in the basement as well I think I found a $ saver. I cut in a return duct in my return plenum to let gravity do its work as far as heat rises. I natural have air moving thru my heat exchanger in the supply duct which in turn keeps a constant draft of heat thru all my supply vents in the upstairs which causes less furnace cycles and also adds fresh air to the upstairs as well. (Note) I also have a 4 inch fresh air duct from the outside hanging in my basement on a draft damper which gives me fresh air when my house needs it. Not only am I using natural gravity heat but also getting fresh air blended also. Thanks.
