I inspected a split-level condo this weekend and it had an AC arrangement I have never seen before.
There was a HVAC suspended in the crawl space and another HVAC unit in the ceiling of the upstairs landing. The problem is there was only one 2.5 ton compressor outside. From inside the crawl space I found where they had put a T in the refrigerant lines to supply both units.
Is this acceptable? I was not able to find data plates on either of the inside units to tell me coil tonnage. In the end I just told them I had never seen this before and that I felt it should be evaluated from top to bottom. It did have some other issues that neede to be addressed.
Does anyone know about this type of set-up?
Thanks,
