Reading your post sparked a lot of memories! Our house has a crawlspace and the horizontal HVAC was added sometime after the house was built. The duct runs into the crawlspace and is so big that it effectively cuts the crawlspace in half.Believe it or not, horizontal flow outdoor combination units are not unseen way up here in Michigan. Not common, but not unseen. They're most often found at houses with crawl spaces instead of basements.
I did a lot of projects on the house that required me to crawl, on my hands and knees, from the access hole, the length of the house, to go around the big duct and then crawl back the length of the house to get to what I wanted to work on.
I finally decided to cut an access hole in our closet to shorten the crawl time. First, I had to build the closet…
And then the access hole.
