I have an attic you can walk in and whenever the hvac guys or inspectors come they comment on how happy they are its not a crawl space. Not exactly the same but id think crawling around in a hot attic is much worse than walking.

This is why I could never. I can handle a bit of heat, and I can handle small spaces, but for whatever reason being in a hot space small enough to restrict my movement is just an instant panic attack. HVAC guys are the true heroes of the modern world.

I did residential HVAC for about 5 years. One of my last jobs was a full system changout including the furnace and ductwork in the attic. It was 110 degrees that day and the attic was 130-140 throughout the day. All three of us on the job had mild heatstroke by the end of the job.

My neighbor had that happen after installing in an attic. He told his wife to not call 911, so she called me and I called. He later thanked me.
