- I've heard two lines of thinking:
-
- 1. Cold-air return low so it collects the COLD air to be heated and circulated
- thru the house.
-
- 2. Cold-air return high so it collects pre-heated air from where it's collected
- and isn't doing any good anymore (we don't live on the ceiling).
-
- I don't know which one is REALLY the best, but it appears that most new
- construction in this area (including my new house) uses #2.
