Patio enclosure in Peoria Arizona

 Any screen room can be converted to a patio enclosure. If design and built properly the enclosure will classified as a "living space" which will add to the value of the house. All HOA (home owner's association) approve of our design and construction because the exterior finishing of the enclosure is identical to the exterior finishing of the house.

Heating and Cooling Sunroom and Room Addition

Cooling and heating a sunroom addition is a subject that many homeowners and some contractors are straggling with and have no clear understanding of what should be done.

Most homeowners are under the impression that adding additional ducts to the existing house system will be sufficient enough to cool and heat the new sunroom addition. The reality is that in most cases the existing house cooling/heating unit was not designed for the sunroom addition. it was designed only for the original house only. The efficiency of any cooling/heating system depends not only of the blower size but also on the ducts configuration. Such as size, length and the number and location of the registers and the air returns.

In most cases an existing cooling/heating system will not be able to handle an additional space, especially a sunroom addition.

It is highly recommended that a new cooling/heating unit will be installed as a dedicated unit to the addition with its own thermostat.

There are several options to consider. For small sunrooms with an average size of glass area an in-wall unit might be sufficient. However, as the sunroom addition becomes larger and larger with a large size of glass area, a heat pump or mini split units will be a better choice.

That why it is vital important to select a highly qualified contractor who has the knowledge and experience in selecting the right cooling/heating system for the new sunroom addition.

AZ Enclosures and Sunrooms are most qualified contractors in the design and construction of sunroom additions as well as any room addition. Their customers can attest to it.

Sunroom in Chandler Arizona

We converted an existing covered patio into a larger livable sunroom enclosure. The HOA requested that the addition will have the same style and colors as of the existing house. Also, they requested that the new addition roof will have the same roof tiles as of the house roof. We also tried to build this addition with as many “green” construction features within the HOA limitation. The “Green” features in this addition are:

We used light gauge steel and DenseGlass exterior sheathings

Door and windows are insulated with low “E” coating and argon gas.

We installed a high efficiency heat pump for heating and cooling.
