We have a old school house that I want to install a/c. Due to the way the house is built I can't run duct work from one side to the other. Is it possible to to run two air handlers in two different locations off of one compressor? This seams to me to be a good solution to the problem, having once been a car mechanic I know that this is done in vans, and suburbans with front and rear a/c, one compressor and two different evaporators. Can this or is this done in houses?

Your best bet in an instance like this is to probably use a ductless mini-split. One condensing unit can run up to 3 evaporator units or if you want to go super fancy you can use the the Mitsubishi City Multi (http://www.mrslim.com). No duct work is needed; however, great attention to detail in the install is necessary to have good results. Poor workmanship will cause you problems to no end.

Thanks, I checked out the Mitsubishi City Multi, looks very much like what I have in mind. Duct work to the rooms is not a problem, as there is a small area behind a knee walls that run the length of the house on both sides. Putting a air handler on each side of the house solves the problem of not being able to get duct work across the house. What I saw of the units they all have heating elements in them, that's not needed, we have radiant hot water that works very well. Still looking at the info, thanks!
