Subject: Air Conditioning question

d From: default

When I put in my AC, I did NOT use any return duct. The return path
goes down the stairs to the AC unit at the other end of the
basement. This seems to work for me, YMMV


d Is that even legal? I was under the impression that you couldn't
d use any part of your means of egress as an air-handling space.

In most states it is not legal. if he has a gas fired unit he could also

be
setting his family up for disaster as it could very easily draw the

exhaust
fumes back down the chimney and cause the house to fill with carbon

monoxide.

Legal doesn't matter, I didn't even bother getting a building permit for
my house. It's safe, I don't have any gas fired units. How could a
closed loop air conditioner create the negative pressure required to
draw air from a chimney?


I smell a troll, since if you didnt get a building permit for your home, you
dont have a certificate of occupancy, and IF you ARE telling the truth, its
only a matter of time till they locate this error, and take care of it,
including a full set of inspections...

This, IF its a legitimate question about the negative pressure, is why they
require permits, inspections, and licences to install these units.
When you install a central air system, you either have a balanced home, a
home that sucks, or a home that blows. It all depends on the amount of duct
leakage, and where its at. Since you can not tell where the duct is leaking
and I am sure...LOL...since you have installed that unit in a very illegal
manner, that you dont care...dont worry about it.

My solar heater doesn't create fumes.


He didnt say fumes, but thats ok....what are you using for treatment in the
loops?
