Below are pics of my central air system pipes. The first pic shows where the air returns from the house. The second shows the part where it goes to the second floor. The third shows how an extra vent was added to the living room.
OK I bought this home years ago and am used to the air barely going upstairs but would like some advise to see if I can fix this myself. It seems as in the second pic that the previous owner added a vent direct to the living room cause he was not getting air from the ceiling vents. OK the ceiling vents came from the second floor pipes. The second pic shows a big pipe going all the way to the crawl space in the attic to a long pipe that had smaller pipes going into a bathroom and 2 bedrooms. It also ran back down to the living room ceiling. Now I think since not much air is going up they added that extra vent but I have a feeling that I either need to close it back off and install it to the right of the big elbow and maybe more air will come up. I was thinking maybe its possible to make that elbow straight and I might get more air upstairs.
Can someone give me advise as to whether anything I said would help in this situation. Any help is appreciated. Also any questions I'll answer to the best of my knowledge.
