Reply to comment by Doctor_Frasier_Crane in Insulating angled roof rafters or laying insulation on the attic floor? by haxxer_4chan

It's actually just a SpacePak air handler, so no heating equipment or AC compressor, just the intake, handler, and some ducts, though it seems those might also be important to keep in a relatively conditioned space

Agreed. Ducting tends to be leaky, and any insulation on them is likely maximum R-6 or R-8. So heating/cooling loss and negative pressure on your living space.

What do you have for heating & cooling then? Baseboard heaters, mini-split, or something else?

Radiator heating with a boiler in the basement and separate AC systems for upstairs and downstairs
