Well mainly it s a way to save space.
Want to finish attic reconfigure ac high efficiency system.
With no air conditioning vents pumping in cool air and the hot sun beating down on the roof right over your head attic temperatures can soar.
I thought it was all one unit.
An outdoor unit which houses the fan condenser and compressor and an indoor unit which holds the evaporator and fan.
Paying for the project.
I don t understand can you please help explain this to me.
I want to put in new heat pumps in the attic.
In most cases you can actually save money by having an hvac contractor install a free standing high efficiency hvac unit in the new attic space rather than tapping into your existing hvac system.
That ll give you maximum temperature control at the lowest cost.
Attic hvac systems save space.
Unless you have a finished attic you probably aren t fond of spending time up there during a hot summer day.
If your home is smaller than other homes in your area or simply lacks the necessary amount of storage or living space for your family finishing your attic is a relatively inexpensive way to increase your usable space.
Converting your attic into usable finished space can increase the value of your home by maximizing the available square footage.
Attic efficiency improvement projects can prove to be more complicated than merely adding a layer of insulation.
These roofs also keep the attic cooler than the outside temperature and in turn lower the need for air conditioning in the living spaces.
But with proper ventilation you can at least bring those temperatures down to match that of the outdoor air.
The hvac contractor is saying i need to put condensers on the outside with the pump in the attic.
I have a 15 year old heart pump system actually 1 on each side of the house with vents in the slab.
