Heating and air conditioning duct placement
I doubt that I am the only one with this issue - cold areas of the house caused by totally wrong duct placement.
In my bedrooms and living-dining-kitchen spaces the supply ducts come to the inner walls just a short distance from the return ducts. This causes a short airflow path resulting in my outer areas being around 10 degrees colder than the core of the house. The thermostat doesn't call for heat because it is in the core of the house
Correct design would dictate supply duct placement at the perimeter walls of each room so that a greater area of conditioned air is involved in the movement back to the return air ducts.
Similar issues exist with the cold air when the AC is running, only then the perimeter areas are warmer than the core.
Has anyone had any success getting this design flaw addressed?
