I am using central-fan-integrated ventilation with the AirCycler for my house that has two air handlers. Should I install an outside air duct to the return of both systems or just one?

A. It would be best to install a smaller outside air duct to the return of both air handlers. Splitting the heating and cooling load for ventilation air between the two systems will give better performance and will give better distribution of ventilation air throughout the house. If you have to choose only one system, choose the one that serves the bedrooms since that is where people will be for the longest time.
