My cabin was constructed before centralized HVAC duct was a common practice.
When my associate and I first moved into the home, there was a heating component installed into the basement in addition to holes cut into the floors; The idea was that the heat from the system would rise upward into the cabin in addition to keep it warm; Unluckyly, freezing cold drafts also entered the living space throughout the long winters, in the summer, my associate and I had troubles with bugs in addition to moisture due to those floor vents.
While I was hoping to have a conventional furnace, a/c in addition to HVAC duct installed, I was unwilling to tear down walls in addition to ceilings, because of the age of the house, my associate and I have plaster in addition to lathe construction, but any disruption of the walls or ceilings creates a substantial mess. I entirely didn’t want to try in addition to get by with electric baseboard boilers in addition to window a/cs. The extensive square footage of the cabin made a ductless system difficult in addition to extravagant. I eventually came across high-velocity systems, and designed particularally to retrofit into older homes, a high-velocity system features mini-ducts. The HVAC duct is only two-inches in diameter in addition to stretchy enough to snake through existing walls. The smaller ducts accommodate studs, electrical outlets in addition to plumbing in addition to are insulated to prevent energy waste. They link to circular vents that can be installed just about anywhere in the room. The vents are available in a nearly endless selection of styles in addition to colors in addition to incorporate separate from detracting from aesthetics. The main heating in addition to cooling component is compact enough to install in a closet. By delivering air into the numerous rooms at an extremely high rate of the speed, the system abruptly raises or lowers temperature, but shorter run times means less energy consumption in addition to lower energy bills.
