Lower your utility bills & be more comfortable.
Let’s be honest. Not all heating and cooling systems were perfectly designed. In fact, very few original systems run as efficiently as they could. One of the most common problems experienced due to such a situation is lack of return air. This is especially common in systems that were originally set up for only heating uses.
By adding additional returns to your heating and cooling system, you can make your system more efficient and your home more comfortable.
Additional Return Air Runs Can Help Reduce Energy Use
Return air runs are the ducts that pull air back to your HVAC system for heating or cooling. Adding more of these can:
- Improve airflow balance throughout your home, eliminating hot/cold spots
- Reduce strain on your HVAC system by making it easier to draw air back
- Lower noise levels by decreasing air velocity in individual ducts
- Extend equipment lifespan by reducing operational stress
- Cut energy costs by improving system efficiency (typically 5-15% savings)
- Enhance comfort by improving air circulation and temperature consistency
