Questions for today’s inspection.
Home has a dual fuel 11 year old forced air, heat pump system.
Patio enclosure (uninsulated), there are 2 distribution openings at enclosure. ducts much larger than the rest of the system.
There is a open vent at enclosure that terminates by the furnace. The furnace is high efficiency vented to exterior with intake from exterior.
The only reason I can see for the opening is for make up air for the water heater, seems like a waste of energy to me.
I think heating, cooling this enclosure is a waste of energy.
What are you thoughts on the openings to the enclosure?
Also the A/C lines were held to the sub floor with modified plumbing piping, seems like an unorthodox method of hanging the lines. Any thoughts there?
One more question.
Home has a balancing, zoned distribution system, as a generalist I would not be testing the effectiveness of this system, what about you?

What are you thoughts on the openings to the enclosure?
I think it is senseless but again I just report what is there

I see nothing wrong with the way it is hung your being to picky
One more question.
Home has a balancing, zoned distribution system, as a generalist I would not be testing the effectiveness of this system, what about you? I test all zone dampers for operationn
No comments as of yet so I guess I will take a stab

The vent terminates in the enclosure (white vent that looks like a bath, dryer). This is the open pipe by the water heater.
