While initially air is drawn by the furnace directly outside, most of the air is usually drawn from the rooms within the home. This allows for the recycling of air in the system, which can save money. Here are some benefits of a cold air return: If air is taken from a room back to the furnace, the air is probably close to the temperature to which the thermostat is set. This means that the furnace may only need to heat or cool the air a few degrees. Your furnace will use much less energy, which saves you money. Cold air returns can keep temperatures throughout the home consistent. If they are placed well, there will be no hot or cold spots. This will leave you feeling comfortable. Further, this will also eliminate cold basements or hot second floors. Cold air returns keep air circulating throughout the home, allowing you to close your windows.
