Hvac Unit In The Attic
So why put an hvac system up in the attic at all.
Hvac unit in the attic. Attic hvac systems save space. I thought it was all one unit. But with proper ventilation you can at least bring those temperatures down to match that of the outdoor air. Your hvac system will require shorter ducts.
That is at least until it stops working altogether. Because the fan and coil unit is mounted in the attic in most retrofit air conditioning systems the challenge is to get supply and return ducts to ceiling registers in the first and second floor rooms below. The hvac contractor is saying i need to put condensers on the outside with the pump in the attic. An outdoor unit which houses the fan condenser and compressor and an indoor unit which holds the evaporator and fan.
Attic hvac systems also require shorter ducts. Can you put your air conditioning unit in the attic with blown in insulation. I don t understand can you please help explain this to me. Unless you have a finished attic you probably aren t fond of spending time up there during a hot summer day.
When you decide to trade in your room air conditioner for central air you ll have decisions to make including where. Well mainly it s a way to save space. With an attic installation out of sight out of mind can become a reality in which you seldom even remember to swap out the air filters on your units. Leaks and overflows on a given floor will seep through the floors to affect everything below it including your hvac system.
Most updated central air conditioned homes have a new air conditioner split system meaning the ac is broken up into parts.
