I recently had my furnace replaced with a Carrier 8000 and ran new ductwork to the front of the house. The furnace is amazingly loud, and the new rooms receive little to no heat.
The prior system only had ducts to the rear of the house (covering about 800 of a total 1,900 sf) and the front of the house was uninhabitable in the Winter. We hired a contractor to run vents to the front and replace the gas furnace unit.
The furnace is installed in a laundry off the kitchen, and the cold air return is ducted directly to the furnace through an opening in a rear hall wall. It was so loud when it was first installed that it sounded like a 747 was taking off in the middle of our house.
The new ducts were run individually from the furnace (6" insulated duct) to the individual, ceiling-mounted registers in the front of the house. These new ducts give out paltry air that is meagerly heated.
Our condo is a long rectangle about 26 feet across and 75 feet long with a long central corridor.
