Uh thanks but it doesn't really answer my question... :: damn stoners...

 

i guess what i mean is if i have like a ducted air-con unit in the house, is it ok to run it just when its too hot? and just vent with the windows open in cooler weather?

 

thanks for the link ferengi, it was a good read anyways

Do you have an existing air con in the house? Is it a fully ducted unit (ie. has holes in the roof for cool/hot air and a central return air inlet (where the filter is located)?

 

I have ducted air I don't think it would be very suited for temp control in a growroom.

 

The air coming into the room needs to flow through the house and back into the return valve to be re-cooled/re-heated. As each room doesn't have it's own zone (ie. a number of rooms are connected to a single feed pipe) if one door is shut, then the room doesn't cool or heat as the pressure from this room just provides more airflow to other rooms in the zone. Once the door in the room is open (even just a little) the ducted air keeps the temp nice all the time.

 

I would guess that if you left your growroom door open to keep it cool with the ducted air, the smell would get right through your house.

 

Sorry if my explanation doesn't make sense, can probably knock together a diagram of how my system works if it helds.

Hey bro,

 

 

you would have to have your grow room as "one zone" with a air-return in the grow room than it would work fine.

 

You could set the temp and leave it

 

Any air-con suppliers could easily modify your existing setup if required.
