[QUOTE="The Bone, post: 16656895, member: 190821"] I am a sheet metal worker for 35 years. There are a couple different things you can do. First is install another furnace in the attic You could put the AC unit on the ground or roof I prefer ground. It will be a challenge to run the coolant lines but there is always a way. You can cap off the ductwork from the downstairs unit and hook uo the existing ductwork to the new unit. We call this a split system. Not cheap but will solve your problem. Fans in the duct will not help. You are losing to much cooling because the outlets are to far from the furnace. Another thing you can do and I highly recommend doing this first is a attic fan. If you can get all that super heated air out of your attic you will notice a big difference right away. It could get 150 degrees up there. If its 100 out then you just dropped that temp by 50 degrees. My AC wouldn't shut off on a hot day. I installed a attic fan and no matter how hot it is my AC cycles and doesn't stay on all the time.
