Is my existing ducting undersized?
I have the ceiling down in my kitchen (the closest room to the utility closet where the furnace is). I have a 2 ton Bryant 925t furnace, which according to this page (Gas Furnaces Matrix) puts out between 1000 and 2200 cfm. On both the supply side and return side I have 14x8 sheet metal ducts. The supply side eventually goes down to 8x12 after 15 feet or so and then down to 8x10 further on. From what I understand, 14x8 can carry 500 cfm (http://www.northwestenergystar.com/s...Deck_Final.pdf) Should I replace the 14x8 while the ceiling is down and if I only do that section (and not after it goes down to 12x8, etc) will that really make any difference?
Thank you for any advice
