I as most of us am having a hell of a time with my room in the summer. I have an idea about how to fix it but im not sure and then stumbled across this thread and BOOM, i know you guys can help!
So here's the run on my room's...i live in the pacific northwest, in a very warm part of the state, i grow in my basement and have it broken up into three rooms - veg room (12 x 12) bud room(11 x 10) and an extra room i use for drying. My bud room i run two 6" magnum xxl hoods with 1000 watt and two smaller sunmaster hoods with 600 watts. all hoods are sealed and i have a turbo 6" fan. I also run a co2 system into my room. Right now i have the largest portable ac i can find in my area, it is an lg 13000 btu unit and i it can only keep my room down between 86 - 88 when lights are on. With the exception of putting another ac unit in my room ive been racking my brain to find a better permanet souloution. i cut a hole in the wall and mounted the portable ac half in the room so it wouldnt be pulling my co2 enriched air out of the room. i also vent the hot air from it out of the house.
I am thinking about getting a heat-pump and furnace and putting it in the spare room i have with the heat pump outside and then just running ducting to the two rooms. i went on craigslist and found this:
HVAC system- Furnace and outside A/C unit, NOT a heatpump, Furnace is a 77,000 BTU 240 volt, FLA 4 amp, 1/3 HP unit. The outside unit is a GOODMAN 2 and 1/2 ton A/C unit. (model # G8C130181AE) You will need to purchase an "A" coil for the A/C .
I will put a picture with this, but i think this would more than be sufficent to cool both of my rooms. this is forsale for $400. With some minor wiring (i have 240 available) is this a good deal or do i just not know what im talking about? all input would be greatly appreciated
