The attic was never attached to the central heating, cooling, and ventilation system when the condo was first built! Nobody was utilizing that space, so there was no need to pump expensive indoor air into the lofty attic.
These mornings, condo is at a premium in the city. It’s extremely expensive to live somewhere on your own, and roommate situations are not always the best. That’s why people have been getting extremely creative with adding new spaces to their existing homes in order to expand the amount of indoor space that they have to utilize. Multiple families have been shacking up together, and grown adults have been taking in roommates for many years in this part of the nation. It’s actually normal for grown individuals to continue living in a communal situation thanks to the hard cost of living. Some of the creative things I’ve seen in this village include adding big mother-in-law suites to the back of their homes, extending the small bungalows with big room additions, and finding open space in the attic for lofts and spare living rooms. Recently, I decided to follow suit and convert my attic to a new living space. It’s a honestly interesting space with beautiful ceilings, however the one thing that is lacking is sufficient air temperature control. The attic was never attached to the central heating, cooling, and ventilation system when the condo was first built! Nobody was utilizing that space, so there was no need to pump expensive indoor air into the lofty attic. There were never HVAC ducts attached to the space, so it is not worked on by the central heating boiler or cooling system. I’ve decided to purchase a small mini split ductless heating and cooling system to solve this problem. By positioning the heating and cooling system in the attics, I willbe able to actually control the air temperature no matter what season it is. I will have extra living space for friends or family… or a paying roommate if the economy continues to plunge.
