S. Hutchinson,

Welcome to DoItYourself.com.

If your sunroom wasn't designed to be a 4 season room and now you want one, get rid of what you've got and start from scratch!!

There's a HUGE difference between a patio or sunroom and a 4 season room. The former are meant to be additional outdoor living space. I install them, and they are great for that purpose. But DO NOT try to cool or heat them -- that's getting into the 4 season rooms and living space. They aren't desinged to be cooled or heated, and trying to do so is going to put your utility bill through the roof!!
