hi everyone ,
I'm a new user,
I'm Italian, so I'm sorry for my English....(I'm studying it)
i just bought a house in Bellevile Ontario, this house is also a B&B and is 2 stories 1500/2000 sqft...
previous owner changed the furnace in 2006 , the furnace is a goodman 90000 btu, and 1600 cfm .
the house i composed of an old part (that is th guest part) and a extension the we will use as private.
the problem...
the private part of the house doesn't get warm enough,
i started to check the heating system, read some articles, and i found this forum...
and now i have some question for you guys:
1 who installed the new furnace didn't change the plenum and the ductworks...the results is that:

that 's another picture of the plenum

that's a kind of bottle neck right?
i have to modify it , right?
another issue that i found is the extendend plenum (the system has 2 extended plenums) of my part of the house is 12X8 but there is only a 8x8 return grill connected to the return air plenum by a 5" round duct!
i put in the rooms approx 200 cfm (5" per 3 registers) but the 5" round suck only 60 cfm circa....
the only way that i see to improve the return air is put a duct fan booster, it will work???
please help me....
next time i will about the downstairs master bedroom issue...
thanks a lot gabriele
