My house is located downtown in the historic district.
- The residence was built in the early eighteen hundreds and quite a few features are still original.
The new home is entirely attractive but a fantastic deal of work. It is much harder to maintain wood siding rather than vinyl. It’s a lot more hard to heat a house with lots of small rooms, severely high ceilings, large windows and no ductwork. The new home is not properly insulated and the windows leak air. Even if the two of us wanted to tear down walls and install a duct system, we’re not allowed. Because it is a historical residence, the two of us have to get approval to make any major swings. We’re not permitted to abruptly paint the new home pink, pave the driveway or put on a metal roof. All of us need to preserve the architectural history and integrity of the home. All of us weren’t cheerful 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 & 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, adjustable ducts that can be snaked through existing walls without causing any damage. The supply and return vents are only more than five inches in diameter and can be installed just about anywhere. 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, but the two of us finally got approval to have the high velocity Heating & A/C system installed. It is such a satisfaction to have access to centralized temperature control.
