there will be no airflow in the house if there is very little air coming out of registers, right? Poor supply = air does not circulate enough to warm up the house = HP runs non stop to no effect. I told my son to close half the registers.

No, it's a bit too far to do such experiments. It's pretty large box. Take offs are metal. My son says in the crawl in space one is flexpipe. One on the left, takes sharp turn and goes vertical up, parallel to the blower housing, to the 2nd floor. rectangular metal duct.

Ok, update: I was at my son's house. We opened plenum and I could tell that air goes through the blower/coil fine. It's not a storm, but is not significantly impaired also. Also, you can see what is under plenum. Large chamber, with 2 large ducts. One on the left is up stream to the 2nd floor...

Dear respondents I was driving to work and 2 things I want to emphasize. 1. It doesn't matter what WAS done. We have to deal with what IS. Can't go back in time and correct it. 2. As IS, there is very good return air flow above the air handler. Vent, closest to the air handler, has very poor...

No, I did not make up my mind. It's the only thing that I know of. And they worked at my previous house. That's why I am asking here - is there anything else that can save existing system - as HP works fine and as it should - without dropping another serious bill to replace it.

No. Closest to air handler 1st floor vent barely blows. Basically, there is poor flow right past the air handler.

No dampers. There is air flow to all registers. Nothing is blocked by furniture. Return appears to be very strong, as far as one can tell by placing hand above the air filter housing. Air flow is VERY weak starting literally 3 feet behind the wall to the air handler. I am not tech, but either...

According to my son, when they had gas furnace, air flow was fine and they had good heat. Just to cross t-s, local installer sent a guy, who looked at the job site, recommended specific system, installers showed up, removed furnace and installed HP. No one was standing watching over their...

We have no idea what furnace was there before. House is from 1988. Furnace was original. PacNW. Auburn area. Mild. That's not the point. Point is - how do I improve air flow? We have normal functional heat supplied to the exchange coil. All we need is to get that heat to the rooms. Blower is...

Here's the situation. Over 2 years ago my son wanted to add AC to his house. 2 story building, 2800 or so sf. He was on natural gas furnace. I talked him into getting heat pump instead - both heat and Ac in one piece. I actually even paid for it. And we have a problem ever since. Very poor air...

Thank you. That's what I thought. Doesn't hurt to ask, he he. That thing makes our life much easier, new ones are very expensive.

I have 24V electric motor that operates kids ATV. Sorry, not quite a garage question.. I added a 2nd battery to increase its capacity. All worked well, grandson ran that ATV in our wetland for several times, got stuck in mud, the usual. ATV is about 4-5 yrs old, been through wetland every year...

27 this am, door worked fine.

Yeah, I might as well just do that. It's option.

I lubed everything and, at least, it sounds much quieter. Forecast is 27 tomorrow, I'll see what happens. BTW, it all started a year ago. Flawless before.
