Ah. That explains it. Mini split?
Yeah. Our duct system is absolutely awful. We looked into mini splits to solve the problem before the geothermal. The ones with multiple heads were just ridiculous.
We did later finish our attic and put one up there. It's awesome.
Yea it's basically a not mini mini split.
We looked into doing a ducted heat pump through the attic for the top floor. But it quickly brought the project into the 50k range for what amounted to a slightly better looking design.
That's the problem we had. Not only is actually making our duct work work probably not physically feasible, I can't find an HVAC company that actually tries to solve the problem I have.
It's "I'm not sure why you think that splitting my HVAC system left to right (the easy way) will help my problem with HVAC front to back."
I have a PhD in engineering and strongly respect the trades. It's just don't be stupid. And HVAC have to know a lot about all the various trades.
