YOLOsubmarine posted:Yes? The point of AC is to lower the ambient temperature in a particular location, not to blow in air that’s the same ambient temperature as wherever the ducts in your house run. Your ducts run inside your already-insulated house, the same location you’re trying to heat/cool. So what is it you need to insulate from?

CRUSTY MINGE posted:My assumption would be attic or crawlspace, if you're on a concrete pad and the attic is finished or doesn't exist, then of course it doesn't make sense to insulate the ductwork. Ya we agree. The op probably misspoke but I got the mental image of some grifter hvac dude upselling insulated ducts to some rube and here am I arguing on the internet about it

The op probably misspoke but I got the mental image of some grifter hvac dude upselling insulated ducts to some rube and here am I arguing on the internet about it Yeah, the use is circumstantial. If your hvac/furnace is just sitting in the middle of the house in a closet, it's pointless, but there's a lot of hilariously, poorly insulated homes with hot attics, and for some dumbass reason half the country would rather put it all in the hottest part of the house with no insulation to speak of. My house in Memphis, they installed the water heater and furnace before closing off the attic space and putting in a tiny door. That just meant whenever something failed, it was bound to stay until a new furnace had to go in. Left a dead 50gal water heater up there.

I don't have any insulation in my walls but there are like three layers of wood shingles + insulbrick + vinyl siding on the outside so it works just as good.

If you don't expect much out of life and you aren't too picky about where you live, you can still buy a palace for cheap in Pennsylvania north of I80.  The entire region has been economically dead for decades but hey, cheap houses.

They are frequently running outside the insulated envelope, between the insulation and the exterior shell (like an attic or crawlspace) Now now you don't know what all he wants out of his house - what if he wants to keep that blooming mold colony in his wall nice and toasty during the winter

*moves to portugal* *country hits 117 degrees, is on fire, no A/C* quote:For Jamie Dixon, 37, moving to Portugal from Los Angeles last July with her seven-year-old daughter and husband was made possible by the switch to a remote job and getting a permanent residency visa which required having a lease, a bank account and health insurance in the country. I'm confused by this, by "lease" do they mean a rental agreement like here, or do you have to buy a home? actionjackson has issued a correction as of 15:41 on Jul 21, 2022 |
