How Do I Know My Ac Is In The Attic

Water around the air handler likely means you have 1 of these 3 ac issues.

How do i know my ac is in the attic.

Well mainly it s a way to save space. 2 is measuring how much difference a radiant barrier makes. If your air filter is located in the attic or basement near the air handler you may notice water around your air handler. Most updated central air conditioned homes have a new air conditioner split system meaning the ac is broken up into parts.

One sensor placed about 1 foot above the attic insulation. I do have two return ducts that do have filters. I wont to know if i have a filter on my ac air handler that is located in my atac which is separate from my condenser unit. Mark these areas with a grease pencil.

Look for a filter slot right where the return plenum contacts the blower fan assembly marked as air filter slot and yellow arrow in my photo. These things attack the problem at the source which is your hot attic. Attic hvac systems save space. An outdoor unit which houses the fan condenser and compressor and an indoor unit which holds the evaporator and fan.

Watch for the smoke to waver erratically. A frozen evaporator coil. Improper attic ventilation is one of the major causes of roof damage not to mention mold build up on the interior of your home. Light a smoke pencil or a piece of incense and hold it near the duct joints.

So why put an hvac system up in the attic at all. This signifies a leak in the duct work. One would expect 3 to be representative of the thermal load on ducts. Check your attic insulation and ventilation.

The return air plenum on an attic or basement air conditioner blower unit will usually be a large metal enclosure about the same dimensions in width and height as the air conditioner blower unit itself. But im not sure if the air handler its self may have a separate filter that also should be changed every season the hole unit is only 4 years old.
