I'm hoping I can get some assistance in this thread from the HVAC expert. Here's a pic of what I'm working with:
If you look closely, you can see that there is a duct feeding a/c and heat to the living area upstairs. Can/should I able to cut out a section and add a register for helping to cool the tank area during the summer months?
I am also planning on adding a bathroom type vent in the ceiling that will vent outside which is just a few feet to the left, will doing these two things be an issue for negative pressure? If so, how is it different from having this same type setup (vent and fan) in a bathroom. I'm all confused on this negative pressure stuff.
BTW, the dimensions of my area are 6'x6'x8'. The tank will be enclosed in a wall but not totally sealed off from the rest of the house. I plan to install a louvered door to access the room which is off what will later be my office.
This is the view from the front and back.
The blue floor area is what will be the equipment room.
Thanks.
