How do i know my ac is in the attic.

One would expect 1 to be most representative of the threat to a man working in the attic. A frozen evaporator coil. Besides our radiant barrier insulation and ventilation are also important to regulate the temperature of your attic. Watch for the smoke to waver erratically.

Most updated central air conditioned homes have a new air conditioner split system meaning the ac is broken up into parts. Attic hvac systems save space. 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. 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.

If your air filter is located in the attic or basement near the air handler you may notice water around your air handler. 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. Well mainly it s a way to save space. Light a smoke pencil or a piece of incense and hold it near the duct joints.

I do have two return ducts that do have filters. Check your attic insulation and ventilation. So why put an hvac system up in the attic at all. Improper attic ventilation is one of the major causes of roof damage not to mention mold build up on the interior of your home.

This signifies a leak in the duct work. An outdoor unit which houses the fan condenser and compressor and an indoor unit which holds the evaporator and fan. One would expect 3 to be representative of the thermal load on ducts. 2 is measuring how much difference a radiant barrier makes.

One sensor placed about 1 foot above the attic insulation. Water around the air handler likely means you have 1 of these 3 ac issues.
