Dear Paul,

Interesting post.  Could you give me the name of a manufacturer to see what these things look like?

Would this be a good system to install in a finished, but unheated attic?

Thanks,

Barbara

Barbara,

It would probably work well there, especially in summer.

This site has a couple (or three) options and some good info - though it is sales oriented so they oversell a bit.

I'll be putting a system into my home this summer.  I have a 1910 built home - no ducts in place and limited room to add them.

Good luck with it.

Interesting indeed.  We just moved and our house is total electric with no Central Air, and this might be the way to go.  Thanks for sharing the info.

Joshua,

I have a similar situation - all electric heat (wall heaters) so it's a priority.  Good luck - but double check the temperature ranges - you're pretty far north and while they've improved low temperature efficiencies, it might not deliver everything you need.  A split-system might work better.
