Because our beach house was constructed while I was in the 1790s, it presents some challenges.
While we’re cheerful with the hardwood floors, big front porch and gorgeous stairway, we’ve had difficulty handling heating and cooling. The ceilings are high, the windows big and there’s no conventional duct system. When the people I was with and I first moved in, the people I was with and I looked into having ductwork installed. This would require cutting down walls and ceilings and creating a big mess. Plus, some of our walls are built too narrow to accommodate full-sized ductwork. The two of us tried getting by with window cooling systems in the Summer and electric baseboard gas furnaces in the winter, but the beach house felt uncomfortable just about all year round. The assortment of device was not only ineffective but uncharming. A couple of years ago, an Heating and A/C corporation told myself and others about high-velocity heating and cooling. This type of method is designed to retrofit into older homes separate from creating disfigure. It uses specialized mini-ducts that are only more than one-inches in diameter. They are adjustable and able to be threaded into existing walls and around plumbing pipes and electrical outlets. The replacement causes no mess. The mini-ducts link to circular-shaped vents that are just six-inches in diameter and available in a wide variety of styles to blend into the decor. Plus, they offer versatility in location. A high-velocity method sends heated or cooled air into the rooms at a unquestionably high rate of speed. It raises or lowers temperature unquestionably abruptly. The shorter run times and smaller, insulated ducts reduce energy consumption and keep costs low. The two of us are excited to have centralized heating and cooling.
