When I checked the intake vents in the bedroom I was amazed to see that the opening cut by the factory was only about 1/2 of the size of the vent covers. I was amazed at how little air was exiting the A/C vents in the bedroom. I cut the intake opening to match the size of the vent covers and re-taped them with aluminum tape. Again, what a difference in the output pressure of the A/C vents.
If you are having any issues with your A/C not moving enough air, I would definitely recommend checking these two things. They are very easy to correct and don't take much time.
Third A/C will be installed this Friday. Dometic Blizzard NXT. I will comment on that after it is installed.
Now to adding more output vents to the bedroom ceiling...

I would like to do this. How do you get to the ducts to check/repair?
