There are a lot of benefits to an older home.
My cabin was built in the late 1800’s plus retains many of the original features.
We have hardwood floors throughout the house, stained glass windows in various rooms, high ceilings plus a sizable front porch. All of our doors, moldings plus the stairs plus railings are all gorgeous hardwood. When all of us moved in, the windows all leaked air plus allowed in drafts. The walls weren’t insulated, plus there was no centralized heating or cooling. Achieving a comfortable living environment was just about impossible. We live in an section with Wintertide hot plus cold temperatures that drop down to downside twenty degrees. We need heating for approximately various months per year. The Summer brings high humidity plus hot plus cold temperatures in the upper eighties. Cooling is important. Trying to get by with electric baseboard oil heating systems plus window air conditioners was difficult. The cabin either felt frosty or warm, but just more than one years ago, I finally heard about high-velocity heating plus cooling. This type of system is intended for older homes. It uses ducts that are only more than one-inches in diameter plus flexible enough to be routed through the walls, around studs plus plumbing pipes, separate from disfigure. We have six-diameter vents that are round plus blend right into the decor. The system delivered heated or cooled air into the rooms at a particularly high rate of speed. It creates a gentle suction, known as aspiration, that quickly raises or lowers the temperature. Because the system doesn’t need to run all that long, it keeps costs low. We now have a control unit that allows us to adjust temperature plus achieve comfort.
