Hello,

I'm in the middle of finishing off my Attic.
I've already have a heat pump installed.
I'm currently finished hanging the drywall with the exception of a 20" long ceiling that goes the width of the house.

As far as I know, I've insulated and vented the attic properly.

Today, I noticed that there was some condensation at the AC vents.
Of course, this is due to hot air meeting cold air.
Even though the attic was very cool, the air near the ceiling was hot.

Would you expect this problem to go away once I complete the drywall or do I have a real problem?

I know that I probably have not given you enough info, so please let me know what else you need to know.

Thanks,
Joe

You need to make sure all the ducts are well insulated and the register boots or they will always condensate.
