The vents allow freedom of location and incorporate seamlessly into the decor.
My cabin was built in the early 1900s and a lot of features are original. While the two of us appreciate the charm and historical integrity of hardwood floors, doors, moldings and staircase, the high ceilings, big windows and lack of ventilation have proven to be a challenge. The cabin lacks conventional HVAC duct and has been a concern to heat and cool. Due to extreme weather in our local area, heating is essential and cooling is actually desirable. For a couple of years, the two of us got by with electric baseboard heaters, window cooling systems and box fans. The cabin was freezing in the Winter time and hot in the summer. The portable component was an eyesore, inefficient and ineffective. However, the two of us were unwilling to tear down walls, sacrifice space and deal with the large mess and expense of adding HVAC duct. I finally did some research, hoping to come up with a better alternative. I was surprised to learn about high-velocity heating and cooling. This type of temperature control idea is designed particularally for retrofitting into older homes without major disruption. It features HVAC ducts that are only multiple inches in diameter and flexible enough to insert into existing walls. The HVAC duct bends around studs, power outlets and plumbing pipes and fastens to vents that are only six-inches in diameter and available in all sorts of styles. The vents allow freedom of location and incorporate seamlessly into the decor. Using aspiration the high velocity idea introduces heated/cooled into the room at a high rate of speed to quickly raise or lower the temperature. The insulated and smaller ducts minimize energy waste. The shorter run times ensure exceptional efficiency. The high velocity idea keeps costs low while providing consistent whole-lake cabin comfort.
