Ductwork Solutions Case Studies: The Plains, VA-High Humidity

Wednesday, August 24th, 2016 by Justin Dobson

Challenge

The Plains had a home that was encountering high humidty every time the AC came on...which is VERY odd. Typically the AC system will remove the humidity from the home. A tough one to solve....for anyone other than Comfenergy!!!

Solution

After a thorough evaluation from Comfenergy it was solved. The central vacuum system was installed and they ran one of the vaccum lines right through the AC supply duct in the attic. Every time the AC came on it sucked hot humid attic air into the home through the AC ducting!!!

Comfenergy solved the problem and provided the solution! Take a look at these pics. There is no mystery that Comfenergy can't solve!!!

Project Summary

Evaluator: Shayne Sandner

Here is a picture of the improperly installed central vacuum system as it traveled through the flexible AC duct in the attic. Every time the AC came on it sucked hot humid air into the home.
