An attic crawl space is an area on the top level of a house that is not tall enough to be used as a living area and is often unfinished.
So when we have a choice we prefer hvac systems located under the house.
This can keep the house warmer and can also cut down on heating costs.
A crawl space is an area beneath the home usually with a dirt floor where the foundation and floor joists are exposed.
Compare that with the daily 140 degree temperatures found in vented attics.
