One thing we did last year, when burning wood in our wood stove, was to turn on the blower on the furnace, (forced hot air system) and let the heat circulate thru the house.
All the rooms of the house have ductwork and get the heat, but the below-grade laundry room and family room stay much cooler than the rest of the house, because "heat rises" (of course).
Since the living room gets the hottest (where the stove is located), it also helped to even out the heat in the rooms that receive the heat naturally (or "without blower assistance), so that in the end, the living room didn't overheat, and the other rooms got a more balanced warming to them.
My issue is the "below-grade" rooms. We have space heaters down there, and they help.
I don't really have a question here........just an observation really...........that I wish my forced hot air system did a better job of keeping the movement of air warm.........it cools off very quickly.
Some of the ductwork is insulated, where other portions are not, which may have a contributing effect on the cooling down of the heat as it transfers around the house.
