Luckily these improvements often qualify for special financing.
Want to finish attic reconfigure ac high efficiency system.
The hvac contractor is saying i need to put condensers on the outside with the pump in the attic.
These roofs also keep the attic cooler than the outside temperature and in turn lower the need for air conditioning in the living spaces.
Attic efficiency improvement projects can prove to be more complicated than merely adding a layer of insulation.
I don t understand can you please help explain this to me.
I want to put in new heat pumps in the attic.
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.
So why put an hvac system up in the attic at all.
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.
But with proper ventilation you can at least bring those temperatures down to match that of the outdoor air.
I have a 15 year old heart pump system actually 1 on each side of the house with vents in the slab.
I thought it was all one unit.
Paying for the project.
Well mainly it s a way to save space.
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.
Unless you have a finished attic you probably aren t fond of spending time up there during a hot summer day.
That ll give you maximum temperature control at the lowest cost.
Most updated central air conditioned homes have a new air conditioner split system meaning the ac is broken up into parts.
