I live in an older house about 1200 square feet. There are four rooms in a square, and a longer room and bathroom across the back of the house. There is a door joining each room, so I can walk in the front door, go to my right, make a circle through the rooms and be back at the front door from the left. Clear as mud I'm sure.
Anyway, when my HVAC was installed many years ago, the guy put the return air in the floor with the thermostat above on the wall, but the return also runs under the wall and has an equal size opening in the floor on the other side of the wall in the living room as well. He said he needed to do that because of how the house was layed out.
I haven't had any issues, but does that sound common? I'm just wondering if I covered one side and it only drew from the side with the thermostat if that would make any difference with anything.
