Touchdown! Greaser!
They had to separate out the ductwork so one AC blows downstairs and the other AC blows upstairs? What about cold air returns? How did all that work?Guys left a bit ago, having finished day 2 worth of work. Installing the second unit required some more work on the ducting so they didn't get that finished, but they got it blowing upstairs. Much, much better on this 92 degree day with not a cloud in the sky. They didn't get the mini-split done but I didn't expect that to get finished.
They'd said I might want to consider removing the zoning on the first floor, or at least disabling it for now. Having the two thermostats does cause a lot of extra cycling. Need to look at that some more and see.
I'm curious because I've thought about that for our house. Probably will never do it, but I've wondered how we'd have to retrofit the existing ductwork.
