This type of installation was popular here in the 1960's, and there are still quite a few homes with the old system in place. The crawl space was sealed off, with no exterior ventilation, and the A/C and heat were pumped in under the house. Registers were put in holes cut in the floor. I guess they thought by putting plastic on the floor of the crawl, everything would be OK.
Nice system, huh? Attachment 10620 Attachment 10621 Attachment 10622 Last edited by jhugenroth; 9/11/07 at 9:11 PM. |

Besides that, I wouldn't want the air in the house to be blown over sewer pipes and dirt floor in the crawl area. I have also seen several of these systems retrofitted with ductwork in the crawl space, but no foundation vents were cut in afterwards. Because the A/C system WAS the ventilation, when the air circulation is removed you've got a problem. |
