Attic Heating Units

A heat pump can either be a package system which has one cabinet mounted against foundation or on rooftop or it can be a split system with two cabinets.

Attic heating units.

One of the first perks you ll notice with attic heating and air conditioning units is that your home becomes much quieter. They re easy to install and can be operated independently of your central heating or a c system. In addition to making the unit hard to get to for service high attic heat can trigger the high. Forced air systems are usually the cheapest ones to install in homes today and a furnace qualifies as this type of system.

When added to an existing forced air heating system central air for a 2 000 square foot home costs 3 500 to 4 000 and can be done by two technicians in two to three days often with little or no change to the ducting. Well mainly it s a way to save space. Attic hvac systems also require shorter ducts. Most updated central air conditioned homes have a new air conditioner split system meaning the ac is broken up into parts.

So why put an hvac system up in the attic at all. In that case the condenser is located outside and the air handler located inside the house attic garage or crawl space. Having it installed in the attic ensures that it is 100 percent protected from flooding caused by plumbing leaks and overflows. An outdoor unit which houses the fan condenser and compressor and an indoor unit which holds the evaporator and fan.

Put it in an attic full of blown insulation and you re forcing it to work harder to vent its heat. Without the units running in earshot of everyone downstairs you can enjoy robust climate control year round with whisper quiet operation because all the noise is up in the attic. Attic hvac systems save space. Heat pumps and ducts are part of it too.

One static vent style is the turbine vent which uses wind to power its enclosed fan all it takes is a light breeze to rotate the blades and suck heat out of the attic view example on the home. Your hvac system will require shorter ducts. Since most homes have their hvac system serve multiple functions at once it can be cheaper to install the unit in the attic because the roof access can make inspections. As mentioned in the cooling section mini split systems with heat pumps are an excellent way to achieve and maintain ambient temperature in your attic space throughout the winter time.

Because the fan and coil unit is mounted in the attic in most retrofit air conditioning systems the challenge is to get.
