Goodman ARUF, how to make this work?

5 years ago

So I'm looking at a ARUF37C14 air handler to replace our 1985 Rheem unit and i'm trying to understand something...

I'm going Upflow but the return air is coming from the lower right side of the unit.


I've attached a couple of pics, the red box in #1 is where we'd need to cut the hole for the return air.


So looking at #2 as this is supposed to already be setup for Upflow anyway... instead of the current stack that is:


From top down

-Heat Strip

-Blower

-Coil


We'd re-arranged to:

-Coil

-Heat Strip

-Blower


Correct?

And in doing so, is there, or will there be an issue with that 15kW heat strip right below the Coil blasting up into it?


Also below: Current Furnace

As you can see the return is fed directly through the wall, standard 2x4 stud interior wall.


Thanks for the info all!
