My fiance and I were gleeful to buy and transfer into a historical home.
Every one of us just enjoyed all the original features such as hardwood floors, ornate banisters on the stairway and solid wood doors.
The apartment includes giant windows, ten-foot ceilings and tiffany light fixtures. There is an enormous wrap-around porch across the front of the porch and a balcony that’s accessible through French doors in the master family room. The biggest negative was the lack of a central heating and cooling system. When we first purchased the home, we got by with electric baseboard furnaces and window cooling units. Every one of us discovered that handling the extreme weather in our section is impossible with portable units. The heating and cooling equipment detracted from the decor and cost us quite a bit to operate. It wasn’t long before we were aggravated with chilly in the Winter time and covered in sweat during the summer time months, then my fiance and I were expecting a substantial remodeling project in order to install conventional HVAC duct. Every one of us figured the plaster walls and ceilings would need to come down, creating a gigantic mess, substantial expense and a certainly time-consuming process. However, the Heating and Air Conditioning supplier told us about high velocity heating and cooling that is designed recognizably to retrofit into older homes, but very tightdiameter, bendy ducts are able to be snaked into the walls and worked around pipes, studs and electrical wires without causing destruction. Vents that are only six-inches in diameter can be installed just about anywhere and come in a variety of styles and colors. The actual heating/cooling equipment is situated in the attic
