My HVAC Relocation Project is Finished!

[Tidybuoy]

It's taken a few weeks but I am finished with my HVAC relocation project

I'm going to be using my utility closet (62"x62") for a small powder room bathroom. The only way to do this is to get rid of the old HVAC unit and move into the attic.

To save some expense, I did some of the grunt work myself before the real A/C company installed the new unit. i saved about $6k by doing some of the work myself. Worth it to me.

My part:
Build a platform in attic for new unit
Install gas and electric to attic
Pour concrete pad for relocated condenser
Add 240v to condenser pad
Add lighting to attic for convenience
Remove all old ductwork which will be replaced with insulated flex duct

Hat off to you! Great work.

Very nice work. I've thought of replacing my own AC. Partly to save money but also to install everything the way I want without cost or time restrictions.

I found this guy's videos to be extremely well done:

Great job TB!

I’m sure the HVAC folks appreciate you doing a lot of the grunt work.
