I'm sketching out some ideas for a remodel that might entail replacing and moving the furnace upstairs -- basically directly above where it is now (making the duct runs be pretty straightforward, I'd think, since they are already in the vicinity).
I'd like to know, though, if there are specific rules for ducting _size_. The current furnace is installed so poorly that I don't want to assume there are enough and properly-sized ducts. I realize that an HVAC pro would make sure the new unit was properly done, but I'm trying to get a rough idea for my sketches. Any help is appreciated.
BTW, I found a handy tool for 2D and 3D sketching of my house here:
