Re: [DIY] Utility room insulation?
If your furnace is a 90% unit it will condensate during the heating cycle and can indeed freeze during the winter.

Thanks for the explanation, I always feel better when I know the correct terms. The copper tubing runs down the wall on the inside which I guess connects to the compressor. So the pipe that extends to the outside for the condensation (?) to drip out is only used in the summer when the air conditioner is running? Shouldn't be anything coming out during the winter when the heater is on? I was worried last winter that it might freeze.

OK. The outside unit is the part that needs good air flow. It is the compressor which, by reverse operation, either cools or heats the inside of the house. The inside unit in the attic is the blower (fan) for the inside air.

Yes, the ac unit (I guess it is) does have the copper tubing.
Thanks!

Is there a unit outside with copper tubing running between the 2 units? If so, the 1 in the attic does not need a lot of venting.

We have beautiful, old oak plank flooring upstairs but downstairs is still the concrete. We currently have large area rugs but am almost ready to get flooring in. Planning to lay some type of carpeting on most of the floor. But on the area from the front door, around in front of the kitchen cabinets - then the laundry room I want something else. The concrete isn't perfectly level nor perfectly smooth.

[DIY] Utility room insulation?
The machinery for the heat pump is installed in a 12'x12' "attic" space and the duct work runs from there to both upstairs and downstairs. We originally insulated the walls that face the house but the back wall is open to the uninsulated barn. It's an angle approx 2' at the lowest point up to 6'+ where it meets the inside wall - 12' wide. I was planning to insulate that wall plus the short exterior side wall, and ceiling area, that is accessible. But happened to think the unit might put out heat and maybe we should leave some area open rather than closing it in completely? The new doors are all in and we've finished insulating all the remaining exterior walls, ceilings, etc. I don't want to leave any big gaps that might negate what we've done but neither do I want to enclose it so tight we might create a condensation problem.

Re: [DIY] Re: Home AC question
If it's true that you can't clean the A coil without removing it, the original installer should be punched in the junk. But I suspect there's a way and you just haven't figured it out yet.

Not yet. I've been busy with work. No more freezing up so I think the Freon leak sealed off.
With the air temp differential being 8 degrees unit runs constantly, so at least the humidity is being lowered.
I will have him come back out and check it as the DW was complaining today.
I'm thinking the compressor is not doing its job. The air being blown off and the high pressure line are not warm at all.
Maybe I'm over simplifying, but as we all learned in physics / chemistry when a gas is compressed it produces heat.
I have don't feel any heating being produced.
The return / low pressure line is cold so there is some expansion taking place.
If compressor is actual compressing to the proper level, then the problem will most likely be the evaporator (A coil) is dirty not letting enough air through.
The only way to see the inside of the A coil is to take it out as the coil sits horizontal in the attic.
If we are going to have to take it out, might as well replace it.
