Hi all,
This is our 4th winter in this house and I'd like to learn how I can make my heating system run a little more efficient. The house was built in '65. It is a one story ranch at about 1,350 square feet. The crawl space underneath, where the furnace operates, ranges from 2' to 3.5 '. The air ducts are the old square galvanized ducts approximately 18" wide and 12" high. The furnace uses propane.
We had the floors insulated last year, it helped a little. The air coming out does not seem to be as warm as I would expect. I haven't put a thermometer down in one of the vents yet but it barely feels warm. The house heats ok, it seems.
What temp should the air coming out of the vents be and can those air ducts under the house be insulated?
