Key Features

  • First-floor return running back to the furnace
  • Attic air handler serving the second floor
  • Two second-floor ceiling supplies

Key Considerations When Designing a Residential HVAC System

Size each unit to the floor it serves, since the second floor picks up more heat in summer. Draw both systems on your customer's floor plan in ArcSite, and you can show them where every register and return goes before the first duct goes in.
