[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3965792, member: 15054"] I have to ask how deep is the insulation in the attic? Windows good ones or cold single pane ones? Brother in law had the same issue in a couple rooms in his 1984 built house in Yukon OK. I was there to help him with a leak in the floor from the frozen outside faucet that faced north. I cut an access hole in the sheet rock and found out why his rooms were so cold. There were bricks on the outside of the house then 2x4's then sheetrock. No plywood no insulation no vapor barrier. Sheetrock nailed to 2x4's then the bricks. You could walk around and measure temps of walls and ceilings with a temp gun. If you keep doors closed in those rooms and the carpet seals the doors well you can't pull air from those rooms back to the return. 12x12 room needs about 144cfm more than that with leaky windows. Normally an 8" duct will heat and cool a bedroom or if 2 registers are used then two 6" ducts. That was my learning years ago. [/QUOTE]
