I am looking to see if the overall difference of tying the cold air return from my coal/wood furnace into my NG furnace ducting is worth it. I know every install is different but what has the consensus been overall with everyone else’s install that started with the cold air return box on the back of the unit and then tied into the main return? Mine is in the corner of my basement and there are no doors that block the return air from coming into the basement. If I hold the door to the bedroom furthest away from the furnace almost closed, I can feel the air being sucked out of it. Would tying it into the ductwork allow the air to be warmer as it circulates the house? Also, since my delivery and return air ducts run side by side, my cold air return duct is warm to the touch (might help with warm air circulating?).
Thanks
