It is just a boxed in area, usually located on top of your furnace that collects the hot air and then your furnace blower blows to distribute it throughout your dwelling. I don't know what you have there as far as your furnace or how many cfm (cubic feet per minute) your blower produces but the coil for your air conditioning will install inside the plenum and the blower will blow across it and distribute the cool air throughout your home. There are formulas that the pros use to determine how large a coil you need and also how large a fan you will needd to do the job. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: David Ferrin To: BHM Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2006 13:00 Subject: [BlindHandyMan] central air conditioning quote number 2 I've got another guy coming out tomorrow to give us another quote, but here's my question. The first guy said that they would have to pull my furnace to put I believe the coil or something like that underneath. The second guy who put the furnace in originally said they don't need to pull it out at all. They may need to change out the blower fan motor if it it's not the right type for some reason, I think he said on the phone a 3 speed or the like. My question is where is this thing called the plenum located? Also what does it do? I should know that I guess but unfortunately I don't have that information at hand. Is it on the upper part near the fan or is it down close to the floor? The second guy represents the company who installed the furnace in the first place. It doesn't happen often but when you get 2 contractors saying they are going to go about a given job differently it is rather irritating to say the least.
