The original plan was to flip the whole system, run it length-wise in the hole and hang it from the floor joists.
After heavy research on it, I'm thinking this will be a failure when I get a quote on it on Wednesday. I'm expecting them to say that it will cost as much or more than a new system to do such a thing.
So my other option and question to them is going to be...can they flip the furnace itself and give me that extra 2+ feet of space to elevate the whole machine, while leaving everything where it is? Someone is going to check it on Wednesday. I'd want to elevate it on a bunch of 16" x 16" paver stones. If it could be done, it would be probably 9 or 10 of them on each side stacked next to each other.
Just wondering if those of you in the HVAC community can chime in on perhaps a cost for something like that. Surely it can't cost as much as moving the whole thing would. I understand that the vertical flow coil would need to be changed out for a horizontal flow coil, which seems to run about $500 or so.
