One part of the heating and cooling system that gets over looked is the duct work. As the heating and cooling system gets upgraded most of the time the duct work just gets fitted to it. Most duck work runs through the basement attic and walls which can be running through an unconditioned space. There are several things you can do to raise the efficiency of the duct work starting with doing a visual inspection. Check duct for air leaks. You may find most leaks around seams and joints. Then check for holes in the duct work. Also make sure there is a good insulation on the duct work in the unconditioned spaces. This may be a job you want to seek professional help for depending on your construction skills.
