@transcendentape Oh no, I appreciate this but... again, in the summer this absolutely something we deal with. And to be honest, I feel like putting a cold thing in the attic is /way worse/ than not doing that.
In fact, why is keeping the AC entirely in the conditioned space worse? I need you to explain that because truly I'm not seeing it.
Our homes just flat out don't have ceiling penetrations into the attic other than an access hatch and electrical boxes. The attic, as I said, is outside.
