Re: [HVAC] Move a/c unit & ductwork from attic to basementI'm certain that is cheaper, but does it accomplish the same thing as these reports indicate moving everything to a conditioned space? |

Another option would be to move the attic insulation to the roof using sprayed foam thereby making it conditioned space. |

I can see the entire thing being in the $10k range depending on the layout and basement access. The cost involved with moving everything will likely never be recovered. I would guesstimate your losses at no more than 4500BTU/h in the most unfavorable conditions, that's in the $0.05/h range with a decent A/C unit based on $0.15/kWh. You do the math... moving the system for even $5k for saving less than $0.5/day. |
