Hi all!
So...wondering how to make use of my forced hot air duct system to pull cold air to the basement, while helping to move heat from the wood stove around the home. Do I put the thermostat on 'fan mode' and close all heat registers - allowing the cold air return to pull cold air to the basement? My cold air return is located centrally in the home, about 2 meters from the wood stove. Hoping for some advice. Also - if this set up does not work, should I think about putting a cold air return in a distance first floor bedroom? If so, what does this entail? Thanks in advance! Cheers!
