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.
