Air Conditioning in Inca
The town houses here are tall, narrow and deep, with a stair running the full height through the middle of them. That stair is the most powerful piece of air handling in the building, and it works whether or not anybody wants it to. Say which floors are the problem and the request goes on from there.

The stair is doing more than the equipment
Warm air rises, and in a narrow house with three floors and an open stair it rises continuously. The top floor collects everything the rest of the house produces, the ground floor stays cool, and the middle is whatever is left over. A unit installed on the top floor is therefore working against a supply of warm air arriving from below all day.
The consequence is that conditioning the top floor alone rarely satisfies anybody. Either the stair is closed off at some level, which is often as simple as a door that already exists and is never shut, or the lower floors get some attention too so that less is being sent upwards.
It also affects placement. An indoor unit near the stair on any floor will spend a good part of its output conditioning the shaft rather than the room, which is a placement decision made in ten seconds and regretted for years.
What a tall narrow house needs looking at
- Whether the stair can be closed at any level, even with an existing door
- Indoor units placed away from the stair rather than beside it
- The top floor, which collects the heat of the whole house
- The ground floor, which is often cool enough to need nothing
- A roof directly above the rooms people sleep in
- Somewhere for plant, since these houses have two elevations at most

Why is the top floor so much hotter?
Because it receives the warm air of the whole house through the stair, on top of whatever arrives through its own roof and walls. Conditioning it in isolation means running against a continuous supply from below, which is why closing the stair at some level often does more than adding capacity.
Does the ground floor need anything?
Frequently not. In a tall narrow house the ground floor is the coolest part of the building and stays that way, and the money is better spent where people are actually uncomfortable, which is upstairs.
