When I purchased a historical home, I was blissful with the high ceilings, large windows plus hardwood floors.
The wide front porch, intricate moldings plus broad staircase are gorgeous features.
I didn’t realize how hard the apartment would be to heat plus cool. Because it was constructed in the mid 1680s, the residence lacks conventional HVAC duct. The former owners got by with a combination of electric baseboard heaters, box fans plus window cooling systems. This assortment of component took up quite a bit of space, detracted from aesthetics plus couldn’t keep up with demand. Nearly every room in the apartment was freezing in the winter plus overheated in the summer. I wasn’t willing to accept an uncomfortable living environment just about all year round. I started looking into options. I was unwilling to tear down the plaster wall plus ceilings plus deal with the mess plus expense of implementing an entire duct system. I wasn’t blissful with the choice of ductless heating plus cooling because of the separate indoor air handlers. I finally came across high-velocity systems. The advantage of this type of temperature control innovation is the mini-ducts. The system uses flexible HVAC duct that is only two-inches in diameter. It can be snaked through the walls plus ceiling plus accommodate plumbing, studs plus electrical lines. The installation process causes no harm. The actual component is small enough to fit into a closet. I am so undoubtedly blissful with the high velocity system. It works through a process of aspiration that provides undoubtedly rapid increase or decrease in temperature.
