I like those above the door doo-hickeys as that'd be good to equalize pressure between hallway/room too.

Yeah, the other option is to just undercut the bedroom doors more so that more air flows between them, not sure which one I want to do really.

They also make an option of one to add to the door itself which might be a good compromise.

I probably have 1"-ish gaps under my doors and that really doesn't do much. These over the doors would be way more betta.

Is there a calculator that will show return grille/filter sizing for a house?

Currently the unit in the house is an old Lennox unit (stats below for G50DF-36A) and there is an inline filter currently (16 x 20 x 1) in the duct work.

I am planning on redoing the wall adjoining the furnace where the return grille is located, but I wanted to frame it out and do a return grille with the filter in it so the filter can be more easily changed, and to possibly free up space for duct work when I eventually have the furnace replaced so it could possibly be put up higher in the closet it is in and possibly add a humidifier below it.

Should I up size to a return grille thats maybe 16" x 25" filter, or just stick to a 16" x 20" grille filter return?

Unit is a downforce (all duct work is in the slab) unit, and house is only 915 square feet so I believe the humidifier would need to somehow squeeze in the duct below the furnace and before it goes into the floor, but thats also where the AC coil is so its already trying to squeeze 10 pounds of shit into a 5 pound bag.


Also, do you know if anyone makes a return grille / filter combo that accepts a thicker filter, or are they all 1" units like I seem to be finding online?

Gimme a bit. I’ll take a look at the blower chart for this thing, spec a filter and filter grille.

But the general answer is the absolute largest filter you can put in.

FESTER665 that furnace should be flowing somewhere around 1000CFM.

Put in a 20x20 if you can, commercial style grille.
Hart and Cooley RHF45 series, you can get up to 4" filter depth
I believe they make it in a 16x25 as well

Will look for one of their return grille options first!

Thanks for the assist with sizing.

Cut it with water, it’ll make 9 gallons.
Rinse the condenser down with water first, hit it with a pump sprayer full of mixed coil cleaner and let it soak for 10min, rinse it off.

Our ac doesn’t seem to be keeping up the last couple days. It would blow cool air but not cold. I shut the system down for a few and used a hose to rinse off the condenser but still acting up a bit. Might have to give you a call soon. Like today if it doesn’t keep up.
