![]() ![]() So this might not solve the problem, but it sure seems like it would help. One of them would even become a much shorter run (it's probably close to 20ft long now). Seems to me it'd be simple to move those takeoffs to the larger part of the trunk. Note where a couple of runs of 6" flexduct takeoff right after it narrows. Then, in the righthand photo, you can see where the trunk doglegs to the side to clear a foundation pier, and gets much smaller. All the ducts for the MBR attach to it (to the right of the photo frame). ![]() The lefthand photo shows the main trunk, where the furnace and indoor heat-pump coil feed into it. So it's not a problem now, but still it needs to be addressed.Įxamining the ducts, I can see what appears to be a simple way of at least partially remediating the issue. And since the woodstove is in the living area, the bedroom is still cooler than the living area, which is what we prefer). Except we don't run the HVAC in the winter, because we heat with wood. ![]() It'd be a bad thing in the winter, because the bedroom would be too hot. It the summer, that's, good, because we like sleeping in a chilly room. (In other words, the system directs way too much air to the MBR, in both winter and summer. In summer, the MBR gets 5-10 degrees cooler than the rest of the house that's fine, and the reverse in the winter is fine too, since I heat almost exclusively with wood - and the MBR is cooler, not warmer.
