Poor Mans a/c (from radiant slab to air handler) ?

Dave Carpentier

Hi all,
(some great info on this site, btw..thx for that!)

Has anyone played with "poor mans a/c" using slab radiant pipes and an air handler ? We couldnt find any reference to this when we originally laid out the system. It seems to be working.

I have no idea how it compares to proper a/c for performance vs cost to run (electric for blower and pump), nor how to improve it (faster pump in air handler ??)

Anyhow, just a point of curiosity, i suppose..
