    Quick answer, it recycles and re-heats the air in your home.

    You guys have coin operated heating systems? :D Boy, if I could get my wife to believe that I could afford that Rigid video inspection unit that I want just by cleaning the ducts occasionally! :p

    No, kids like to deposit coins into the heating registers, just like some kids put their sandwiches in their parent's VCR's.

    Back to the question:

    Returns could be better called intakes, but it "returns" air to the furnace to heat.

    No intake. Motor burns up. Less intake than motor and duct work can support - motor burns up.

    Correct amount of intakes in the right places - comfy house.
