To start off I'm not a heating guru. I own a painting business and know very little on how my add on works. I had a buddy install it for me. So here's my problem I have an older hot blast in the basement with a furnace blower installed on the back. Two problems im getting right now. 1. The first outlet on top doesn't get half as warm as the second outlet. The first outlet he ran straight to the duct in the living room since my wife loves heat. The second outlet ran to the furnace. All using six inch duct.2 problem is the heat when the blower is kicked on barely makes it upstairs u can hardly feel it on the vents. When I have the furnace running only there's no problem with the air coming out of the ducts. So I was thinking I would use the furnace fan to push the air throughout the house. That's when I ran into another problem, the fan air runs straight back into my woodstove cooling it down. I read something about a damper where maybe I can allow the heat to go into furnace but not allow the furnace fan to push it back out. Need any help I can get..my 4 month old is upstairs and with the temperatures dropping to negatives at night I want to make sure he stays warm
