Hi;

I recently bought a house in SE Virginia to use as a rental. It has a
one year old carrier AC. It is a package unit so there is no indoor
airhandler or lineset. The ducting runs from the unit through the
crawl space. Everything is self contained outside. The Carrier number
is 50SD024301. The house has Electric BaseBoard Heat. I am worried
that people might not want to rent the house because of the baseboard
heat. I am thinking about having the AC unit replaced with a heatpump.
Before I call folks out and get a quote for a new heatpump, is it
possible to convert the ac unit I have to a heatpump for less than 3k?
I hate to discard a system that is less than a year old, but if I have
to I guess I will have to. Thanks for any advice.

Pat

Nope, cant convert it but depending on the ductwork, you may or maynot
be able to add a duct heater.

Thanks Bubba...I may want to put some 1500 watt hair dryers in the
ducts for winter time use...I think those work the same as duct
heaters but far cheaper. 100 hair dryers should give me 150kws of
heat;-)
