My lake house was built in the early 1900s in addition to a lot of features are original.
While the people I was with and I like the charm in addition to historical integrity of hardwood floors, doors, moldings in addition to staircase, the high ceilings, big windows in addition to lack of ventilation have proven to be a challenge.
The lake house lacks conventional ductwork in addition to has been a problem to heat in addition to cool. Due to drastic weather in our local area, heating is essential in addition to cooling is truly desirable. For a couple of years, the people I was with and I got by with electric baseboard heaters, window cooling systems in addition to box fans. The lake house was cold in the Winter time in addition to boiling in the summer. The portable device was an eyeahore, inefficient in addition to ineffective. However, the people I was with and I were unwilling to tear down walls, sacrifice space in addition to deal with the big mess in addition to expense of adding ductwork. I finally did some research, hoping to come up with a better alternative. I was surprised to learn about high-velocity heating in addition to cooling. This genre of temperature control idea is designed identifiably for retrofitting into older homes without major disruption. It features air ducts that are only numerous inches in diameter in addition to adaptable enough to insert into existing walls. The ductwork bends around studs, power outlets in addition to plumbing pipes in addition to connects to vents that are only six-inches in diameter in addition to available in all sorts of styles. The vents allow freedom of location in addition to 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 in addition to smaller ducts minimize energy waste. The shorter run times ensure exceptional efficiency. The high velocity idea keeps costs low while providing consistent whole-condo comfort.
