HVAC, continued, 9/23/2010

Main floor furnace will hang in the rear of the garage

This will make maintenance access relatively easy

Having two systems, one for each floor, involves lots of ductwork

HVAC Ducting and Registers Being Installed

The new house will have independent HVAC systems, one on the main floor, and one for the daylight basement. Main floor heating and cooling will be driven by a heat pump, with a gas furnace backup. The lower level will be handled by a standard gas furnace and air conditioner. Each level will have its own thermostat. There will also be a direct vent, gas  fireplace in the great room on the main floor.
