At one time, there were honestly few possibilities for homes that lacked conventional ductwork.
- My property was constructed during the late 1680s, plus the former owners relied on a combination of heating plus cooling options.
They had several window cooling systems plus box fans for the summer time plus an assortment of electric baseboard heaters for the winter, when my family moved in, my buddy and I discovered that whenever there was dire weather, our property was uncomfortable. My buddy and I needed to dress in layers of overcoats, wear thick socks plus wrap in blankets in January. My buddy and I took lots of cool showers plus were always hot in June. I wasn’t cheerful with the ugly appearance or the level of temperature control provided by the portable units. I researched plus came across a relatively modern innovation called high-velocity heating plus cooling. The system is intended for older homes plus retrofits without causing disfigurement to existing walls plus ceilings. The advantage of this type of set up is the mini ducts. It uses ductwork that is only two-inches in diameter plus adjustable enough to route around plumbing pipes, studs plus electrical outlets. The system also includes circular vents that are only six-inches across, available in lots of styles plus allow freedom of location. The actual heating/cooling component is compact enough to install in a closet. The operation of the high-velocity system delivers heated or cooled air into the rooms at an extremely high rate of speed. By hastily raising or lowering temperature, the system doesn’t need to run all that long. The shorter cycles combined with the smaller, insulated ducts helps to keep utility bills at a minimum.
