My spouse and I were thrilled to purchase a home in the historical district.
The home is over more than one hundred years seasoned and features most of the original hardwood floors, moldings and doors.
There is a immense wraparound porch, sizable mullioned windows and even a widow’s peak. When we moved in, we discovered how hard the home is to heat and cool. With the high ceilings, so several rooms and no conventional air duct, trying to achieve a comfortable temperature was just about impossible. Every one of us discussed installing HVAC ducts to provide for a oil furnace and central cooling system. This would have required a immense mess, expense and destroying the architectural integrity of the structure. The previous owners got by with window air conditionings, electric fans and space heaters. With our local weather, that’s not an effective solution. Every one of us get Winter time temperatures down below zero and summer time heat into the high eighties. The portable heating and cooling units looked ugly, took up space and couldn’t keep up with demand. I got in touch with a local Heating and Air Conditioning supplier and asked for an alternate option, he explained that high velocity heating and cooling is designed especially for older homes where air duct isn’t a viable opening. The high velocity method uses entirely small diameter and flexible ducts that can be inserted into existing walls separate from causing injure. These mini-ducts accommodate studs, plumbing pipes and other obstacles and connect with smaller vents. The vent covers are about multiple inches in diameter, are available in a wide range of styles and incorporate seamlessly into the decor. The high velocity method pumps air into the room at a entirely high rate of speed, creating a gentle suction. The air mixes abruptly to effectively raise or lower room temperature. We’re just gleeful to finally have a central temperature control to control indoor comfort.
