HVAC Review and Improvement, New Devices

General Contractor has bought home for his own use as well as office space in basement.

Existing LPG gas heat furnace

Looking for HVAC technician to assess existing system
Sketch existing registers and grilles and ductwork as well as is known.

Make a schedule of grille and register sizes and locations, intent is to replace all devices with quality devices with volume dampers that work.

Also, 2 bedrooms on the East side appear to have no return air ductwork, determine a way to route return air to the furnace.

Would like to jump on this ASAP as drywall work is being finished as we speak, so if drywall needs to come down in the garage ceiling for duct access, this is the time to do it.

  1. Make a center supply trunk run along side of the center beam and use this by swapping the returns with the supply runs on BR2,3 and MBR. This does not "fly" with traditional standards but it's do-able and it actually works very well for cold (AC) supply. As for your East -side apt., consider using a vented door for the furnace room(if enclosed) and vent connected rooms through shared walls so to allow for air movement. Vent BR doors on lower half. Use fully vented door on furnace room. Just suggestions!
