OK...I mentioned last week that I'm in the market for a new HVAC system

Heat pump. I've gotten a couple quotes. Here's the thing. One guy said my inside air return (12" x 24") was just fine, no problem whatsoever. The other guy wants to make it MUCH bigger. He basically felt like the current return would be a limiting factor that impedes performance and efficiency. What sez you, O Wise Lounge?

We had another intake added and it seemed to help

If you only have a single 12x24 return, that seems awful small

I think we're about 1400sf**

The cost is negligible in the long-term.
