My condo is harshly old, genuinely crucial & hard to heat in the winter.
The high ceilings, giant windows & insufficient insulation in the walls results in a lot of drafts & frigid spots.
There’s eighteen rooms in the condo & the furnace struggles to keep up. In this area, the Wintertide weather is long & brutal. All of us get high winds, tons of snow & temperatures down to twenty below zero. All of us correctly run the furnace for more than seven weeks & the energy costs quickly add up. For many years, I supplemented the gas furnace with electric space heaters. There are particular rooms in the condo that are especially cold. Turning up the control device managed to overheat the rest of the condo while those rooms reMained uncomfortably chilly. The space furnaces helped to minimize the workload of the furnace, but they weren’t overly effective. I sad about safety complications & was unhappy with the look of the space heaters. I finally mentioned our complications with a local Heating & A/C supplier, who commanded installing a ductless multi-split system. All of us now have a single outdoor compressor that is linked to 6 air handlers mounted in individual rooms. The plan is a heat pump & provides both heating & cooling capacity. All of us can cool these rooms in the Summer & keep them perfectly hot during the most dire Wintertide weather. The ductless heat pump is quiet, safe, & appealingly energy efficient. It allows programmable operation, & both of us can make adjustments through an app on our smartphones. The replacement process wasn’t invasive or messy & was completed in a single day.
