heat/air exchanger small home 1 floor - 1200 sf will this reduce airflow too much?

We are in a 1450 sft Townhouse and the filter has been super, does the job and no noticeable reduction in air flow.

This is a question for an engineer, which I am not. However, I am/was a U.S. Goverment certified Engineering Specialist. I suspect this filter will not reduce airflow appreciably based on the fact I have had one for two or three years. I have noticed no loss of airflow in my one story home with full basement.

I have a fairly powerful unit so I did not have a problem with the filter. It is pretty dense so it will reduce some of the airflow. But on the positive side, its easy to keep clean and reuse.

This unit works best in one room applications because of how it throws air. It will cool a room up to 500 square feet depending on the climate where the unit is installed.

I'm pushing 360 cfm thru mine no problem. It's i nice filter and doesn't hardly restrict air flow.

Barbara, I actually own the 12000 BTU model and would say that even this model would not be able to cool your four rooms. My unit cools our open living room rather well; but really can't do much beyond that. I do recommend the Haier brand, I just think you need something in the range of 28,000 BTU's or perhaps two 12,000 BTU models. Braeden M.

I'd get one that is bigger. This is just ok for a 15 x 15 room in my opinion. Makes a nice noise, circulates air pretty well - but won't cool a room off in my experience. Good luck!

No! Unless u run your a/c all day with the bottom vents open provided u have enough NEG pressure on your fan/filter combo... Hope this helps!!!

I would highly recommend the tower fan fora small office. It moves allot of air very quietly and without taking up allot of space. I have two now for our apartment and they have made a world of difference with keeping the air flow moving!

Actually some of the reviews I saw rated it for 1400 sq ft (which is the size of my house). It seems to work relatively well for that size of a building, but I also have an air purifier that circulates the air flow (which I move from room to room). It also has rollers so it can be moved from room to room if you desire.

That should be good. We have 3 inches at the top, for airflow. Nothing on the sides, and we have had no problems. Hope this works for you.

yes, just about right, get ready to deal with circulating the heat out. Negative fan pressure will probably be the way to go, for that area it may take 2 or 3 6" or 8" tube type fans blowin out from the top & pullin cooler air in from the bottom.

I use it on a 1200 sq ft home and works great. I have to empty once a day. It does exhaust alot of warm air. It should be placed away from HVAC thermostat. I read alot about the unit running for a year or so and quitting. All this probably is is a dirty coil, mine quit after about 1 1/2 years. I took it apart, cleaned the coil and was back up and running great.

I would suggest a unit with a higher CFM speed to better, and faster, circulate the air in your shop. I have a smaller shop so the lesser capacity is not a problem.Regards, John

You can, but you'll need a reducer from 4" to the 2 1/2". It won't reduce your cfm's.

If you could define "small" in square feet this would be a much easier question to answer. If you live in an apartment complex or have a small condo, yes it should cool a small bedroom (200-300sqft) easily.

Just my opinion... I am not an airflow expert...I don't think it would have a major impact. Ours makes a 90% before exiting and it doesn't cause any issue. depending on your setup I would be most concerned with distance between the fan and exit point...

The instructions indicate that you should leave a few inches around the unit (from what I remember) so that the unit can exchange air efficiently. You don't need much more than that.

I used my unit for a full season & didn't have to drain it at all, mine has an auto evaporate system. The important thing is to get a unit big enough for the room you are cooling. Mine is an 8000 & barely covers a 12X16 room on very hot days. Our old 8000 window AC cooled a little better than this one, but I do like it, it is much quieter than the noisy window unit.
