No Return-Side Ductwork

Click to view larger image Some structures do not have return ductwork at all, a design that assumes the air delivered to rooms will probably make its way back to the air handler. In such systems, the air handler is usually in a cold basement or crawl-space and has to do more work warming this cold air for delivery to the rooms than it would have if warmer air from the occupied space were available from return ducts. This type of system is also likely to be unbalanced.
