HEAT PUMP SYSTEM INSTALLATION AND DESIGN FOR APARTMENT 
Installation of Goodman heat pump system in apartment built in a Morton building. This was a small unit, and just right for well insulated newly constructed apartment customer uses for guests. This 16 x 32 apartment has R38 insulation in the ceiling and R13 insulated walls, plus insulated glass windows. This system heats and cools extremely well and efficiently. Registers were installed in the ceiling, which was also a second story floor used for storage in the building. Concrete pad installed will hold the outside unit level for years to come. Electrical disconnect and line set installation carefully installed for long life and out of the way good looks.
Inside unit setting on second story floor, which is the ceiling for the apartment below. Heat and air conditioned air flow up and into duct work and down to living space below. Return air vent is directly below this unit in the ceiling of the apartment below.
Emerson thermostat installed. This is the non-programmable model #1F86-0244. Easy to install, and easy to use. It lights up when you push the buttons to set the temperature. My favorite thermostat.
I built "guard railing" around the inside unit, to prevent damage from anything that is stored on this level. Also, the "guard railing" leaves enough room for servicing the unit, even with stuff stacked around this area.
"Guard railing" extends down exterior wall to protect the duct work coming down from the distribution duct above. System works great!
This Goodman system was installed in an almost 100 year old home in Clinton. The system consists of a 14 SEER air conditioner, a 95% efficient natural gas furnace, UV ultraviolet purifier, and a high efficiency electronic air cleaner. I also completely changed out all ductwork, and replaced with metal insulated ducts under the house. This system is really quiet, inside the home and outside as well.
The Goodman outside unit was set on a new concrete pad, big enough to allow yard maintence without harming the unit. Electrical disconnect was installed behind the unit on the exterior house wall for safety and and maintence needed. PVC flue for furnace extends out of wall just on the other side of unit, and the line set installed for a neat looking installation. This gas furnace is 95% effieient, and the air conditioner is a 14 SEER.
An Emerson 1f86-0244 thermostat was installed in the home. This thermostat lights up when you push the button to raise or lower the temperature. Not only good looking, but very easy to use. It is a "non-programmable" model.
This is Goodman's UV ultraviolet purifier. I installed it in the A-Coil compartment, so that the 2 UV lights shine on the coils and the drain pan. This was the recommended area suggested by Goodman. There are indicator lights that come on when it is operating, so you know that they are working. The lights last a year or so.
This is Goodman's GSASD-18 high-efficiency electronic air cleaner. It is the same size as the return air duct, and all return air passes through this air cleaner. As you can see, it has two indicator lights that come on when it is running. The one on the left is the power light, and indicates the unit is powered and running. The indicator light on the right burns steadily when the unit is working as it should, and when it needs cleaned, it will flash on and off, to alert you to clean it.
Here you can see the short intake air opening at the top, and the PVC pipe used for the exhaust for the furnace. This 95% efficient furnace transfers so much of the heat produced that a plastic pipe works fine for what heat is left in the exhaust! When you compare heat pump numbers to gas furnace and a/c unit in older homes, you might be surprised. Nothing beats the warming heat from a gas furnace, compared to the almost chilly heat coming out of ductwork, unless it would be a wood stove. Heat pumps are the most popular system, it is true. However, they are not the best in 100% of homes. A lot of factors come in to play when choosing what system is best for your home. Professional HVAC installers know this from experience. I don't charge to evaluate what you may need, give me a call today! I will design the best system for your home.
If you want the absolute best ductwork, here is a picture of it. Yes, it takes more work to put it in. Yes, sizing is important to balance the air flow into your home. Why settle for less?
Another Goodman Heat Pump installation.
I think neatness still counts.
Ductwork and ceiling register installation in local business.
Plywood backing above the ceiling tile ensures that this register will not sag down in its lifetime, as you see so many do.
