Hot Attic Air Conditioning

Low cfm similar to a bathroom vent 300cfm and only in the hot spots basically by adding an inline ducting fan to the return ducts for the hotspot rooms.

Hot attic air conditioning.

It s a standalone unit that s about two feet tall and 18 inches wide and has wheels for mobility. An outdoor unit which houses the fan condenser and compressor and an indoor unit which holds the evaporator and fan. Portable air conditioners do need to be vented to pump the hot air outside. In fact most of the time the temperature inside an attic is even hotter than the outside climate.

An overheated attic can bake asphalt shingles on the roof and cause them to deteriorate. A portable air conditioner is the easiest solution for cooling your attic. Mini split ductless air conditioner. With that said a room air conditioner with just a nominal or average cooling capacity even if rightly sized will be forced to work harder.

Well mainly it s a way to save space. My idea is to vent the build up of hot air that has risen to the ceiling in the hotspot rooms into the attic so that air from cooler parts of the house can move in. And it can cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and send your energy bills soaring with the temperature. An unventilated attic can reach 150 degrees in the heat of summer 50 degrees higher than it should be.

So why put an hvac system up in the attic at all. Typically this indoor unit gets placed in a cabinet or closet somewhere inside.
