To answer the latest questions...
Furnace is in the attic above the second floor..
Return is a 20X25 and a 12X24... or 788 sq. in.
We have 21 vents... most look about 8X12... or 2016 sq. in.. let's round that down to 1900 with the smaller bathrooms...
The fan is sucking in the filter big time... both people have said it is starving for air...
The run in question is going all the way across the attic... say 20 plus feet... you can easily stand in my attic, so there is no space issue.. but, all 3 ducts are exposed to the attic air... so in my thinking I am losing some heat just because of this... I think he said a 16" line... (I think that I might have been wrong... they might be 8"... will have to check)...
Are vents are in the ceilings here... not the floor or walls.. the one guy even said that some older installers say that how they are installed are correct... the one guy said that people are surprised how much better a system works when they turn them around... the cost of doing this is minimal.....
Ducts are not metal.... they are flex...
There are 3 that I know are kinked... the return air and two that are going where the return air is located... they were just laid down and bent down a chase... no support or solid elbow...
