Not enough air to far end of house
11 flex ducts tied to supply plenum, 30" long. Flex runs 30 to40 feet to far side. It's like spaghetti noodles in this attic. Classic

Is there a question as to why? It is pretty obvious, yes? Ugly!

Looks like a monster in the attic. Would scare me in the dark.

& 1500 sf, 100,000 btu/4 ton?
Which makes more sense to you?
CONSERVATION - turning your thermostat back and being uncomfortable. Maybe saving 5-10%
ENERGY EFFICIENCY - leaving your thermostat where everyone is comfortable. Saving 30-70%
DO THE NUMBERS! Step on a HOMESCALE.
What is comfort? Well, it AIN'T just TEMPERATURE!
Energy Obese? An audit is the next step - go to BPI.org, or RESNET, and find an auditor near you.

Looks like that in every attic here in Las Vegas. Some may have a bunch of "splitter boxes" as well. Never saw anything like it until I moved here. I get a lot of airflow problem service calls.

What most of the HVAC guys around here would tell them a "variable-speed" blower would solve the airflow problems. Originally Posted by nismo1

Hey its cheap! Isn't that the best? The ethnic install crew rides around in a 4door flatbed loaded down. They do it in 1 day.
And usually they get sold a bigger unit to fix that!
