heat pump wood furnace question

[opi89]

I recently had a heat pump system installed in my home, can i run the heating duct from the wood furnace into my cold air return of the heat pump?

Thanks Dave

How hot will the return air get? Can't do it with the heat pump on for sure. If just the blower is on, could be OK unless it gets so hot it damages the blower motor.

I understand the h/p blower will get too hot, so what would be the best way to connect my wood stove to the h/p system? The woodstove has 2 blowers on it, any help would be greatly Appreciated.

Forget the blower. Bringing very warm air into the heat pump return will cause excessive and possibly damaging high pressures in the heat pump.

You can use the blower for circulation, but make sure that the heat pump is off.

C'mon Baldie, don't even imply he could do this at any time.

My 3 words: DON'T DO IT!!!!!

The Donald Duck sticker on my car is getting old and I understand that
the Disney company will not let the U of Oregon use Donald for thier logos.
What a shame.
