    Advice sought how to improve heat pump air flow

    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...
