Derek Cole and two other speakers explain why adding a sunroom without proper HVAC planning makes your whole house uncomfortable. A thermostat in the middle of the house can't sense conditions in a glass-walled room, and tapping into existing ducts without proper sizing steals air from the rest of your home.
Not gonna happen, not gonna be comfortable because now you're building 3 walls of glass. And this lady in particular was, it was on the southwest side of her house and she was like, I'm using my unit. I said, where's your thermostat at? She pointed to the middle of the house where it's supposed to be. There is no way that thermostat can read what's happening in that sunroom.
And what you need to be aware of, most people say, well, if it doesn't work, this addition, I'm fine with it if I'm not comfortable. You're not just gonna be not comfortable in that room, it's gonna affect the whole house because when you You take that air off of that duct system to go into that room, you're taking it from somewhere that needs it in the rest of the house. You're not just going to be affected in that new area, you're going to start suffering in your old part.
Yeah, it affects the whole envelope, what we call the house is the envelope. There's a cause and effect. It's like taking medication. Yeah, you're curing one thing or you're masking over symptoms, but you could have higher blood pressure or it could lead to liver problems. There's always a cause and effect, so when you start tapping into existing things and not sizing it properly, you're going to have challenges.
Problems, not challenges. Problems.
Yeah, you're not going to be comfortable. I mean, you're spending that money to add the house, add the room on, and you've turned a comfortable home into the whole house is now uncomfortable.
