My house was built in the late 1820’s and lacks conventional HVAC duct.
Many of the walls and ceilings are still constructed of lath and plaster. Installing a duct plan would require a large, lengthy and messy project. The expense and renovation necessary would be super overpriced. Plus, HVAC duct takes up quite a bit of space and requires a lot of ongoing service; For quite a few years, our fiance and I struggled to manage temperature control. The people I was with and I tried a combination of odd types of space oil oil furnaces in the multiple rooms. During the summer, all of us got by with window s and box fans. The house was cold cold in the Wintertide and warm in the summer. I finally consulted with a local Heating and Air Conditioning supplier and asked for some options. I expected her every suggestion to be too overpriced and invasive. I was unwilling to take out a large loan or tear up our house. The Heating and Air Conditioning supplier told me about ductless technology. A ductless split plan consists of an outdoor compressor linked to many indoor air handlers. The installation process requires little more than a 3-inch hole in an exterior wall, mounting capabilities and access to electricity. The whole project can be completed in an morning and there’s no mess. The air handlers are lightweight, compact and install up high on the wall. The ductless plan not only provides both heating and cooling however is effective at dehumidification and air filtration. It utilizes something called inverter technology to supply only the exact amount of heating or cooling necessary for comfort and achieve impressive efficiency levels. I like that we’re able to customize the temperature setting in each room. The people I was with and I aren’t forced to heat or cool unoccupied areas and can accommodate preferences. Plus, each indoor air handler includes a wireless remote and can be adjusted through an app on our smartphones..
