No Attic Central Air

Well mainly it s a way to save space.

No attic central air.

Living in a home without central air conditioning is quite uncomfortable during the hot summer months. If there is no air coming out of the vents in only one room of the house make sure the registers in that room are fully open and are not blocked by furniture or any other obstruction. Can you put your air conditioning unit in the attic with blown in insulation. While you might currently have window air conditioners to help you stay cool these are often noisy and inefficient.

Most a c installers in the area are perplexed. Most updated central air conditioned homes have a new air conditioner split system meaning the ac is broken up into parts. It s imperative that we have central air as we live in a sub tropical climate hot and humid. Window air conditioners or central air aren 39 t the only ways to cool down a hot house.

If you don t have forced air the fan and coil system is typically placed in the attic where it will deliver cool air through ducts. So why put an hvac system up in the attic at all. If the registers are open and clear of any obstructions and if a bit of cold air is coming out but only very weakly it may be that this particular room is farthest away from the ac unit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Most homes that have a forced air heating system have ducts that can be used for ac as well. For a 1 600 2 000 sq ft. Attic ventilation works on the principle that heated air naturally rises primarily utilizing two types of vents. An outdoor unit which houses the fan condenser and compressor and an indoor unit which holds the evaporator and fan.

When you decide to trade in your room air conditioner for central air you ll have decisions to make including where. The 20 to 30 foot long pipes that carry the refrigerant are disguised to look like a downspout. For one most traditional room air conditioners are not capable enough to handle the extreme heat that s normally present in an attic. Typically this indoor unit gets placed in a cabinet or closet somewhere inside.

However it is possible to hire a company to install central ac even if your home does not have ductwork. I recently purchased an older home with a flat roof no attic and no basement. House a 2 5 ton central ac system costs 3 900 5 000. If there is ductwork already in place your total installation price for a whole house central air will be very reasonable.
