Hank and anyone else who is considering a ducted unit, there are inverter HVAC units available for home upgrade (air handler either horizonal or vertical) but if you have the return air under the steps which in my case is wasted space, consider using a larger evaporator intended for home use but beware of the size constraints then you can use the existing return air and all the duct work with a HOME type unit higher CFM but not as efficient. The ducted units that we buy on ebay or other places are meant for small home installation's with direct intended duct work above the ceiling in a closet or a direct exchange of energy or close to the indented area to be cooled. Its all fitment and work... On that note I guess no 2 Newells alike but I can put a lot in that area under our stairs.


We bought all our equipment from Power Equipment Direct which E-comfort is part of, if you research air handler you find most ducted air handler only put out 400 CFM a typical home air handler puts out 1200 CFM because it feed multiple ducts and has restriction. The down side to this is noise.
