My lake home is situated downtown in the historic district.
The residence was built in the early eighteen hundreds and quite a few features are still original.
The home is absolutely appealing however a superb deal of work. It is much harder to maintain wood siding rather than vinyl. It’s a lot more hard to heat a lake home with lots of small rooms, extremely high ceilings, giant windows and no air duct. The home is not officially insulated and the windows leak air. Even if every one of us wanted to tear down walls and install a duct system, we’re not allowed. Because it is a historical residence, every one of us have to get approval to make any major changes. We’re not permitted to suddenly paint the home pink, pave the driveway or put on a metal roof. The two of us need to preserve the architectural history and integrity of the home. The two of us weren’t glad trying to manage temperature control with a bunch of space heaters, box fans and window air conditioners. When I petitioned to have a high-velocity Heating and A/C system installed, I argued that this genre of system was a lot less noticeable than the window air conditioners. A high-velocity system uses miniature, adaptable ducts that can be snaked through existing walls without causing any disfigure. The supply and return vents are only 6 inches in diameter and can be installed just about someplace. They blend right into the decor. The actual heating and cooling components are so compact that they can be installed into a closet or attic. It took a lot of meetings, deliberation and paperwork, however every one of us finally got approval to have the high velocity Heating and A/C system installed. It is such a satisfaction to have access to centralized temperature control.
