Are you sure that would help? I would think it would have the opposite result; as the fresh air intake on the furnace would draw air in from outside and also circulate that throughout the house.

I know on hot summer days once it cools down at night I run the fan to draw the cooler air in from outside to cool the house. Or at least I did prior to getting A/C installed.

I am going to install a ceiling fan at the top of my stairs to circulate air, so the theory is good. But to bring in cold outside air couldn't help at all.
