I’m genuinely not so sure how the previous owners were able to keep warm through the winter.
While our region isn’t near as hard with Winter weather as our neighbors further north, it’s no day at the beach either.
Many people rely on either a gas furnace or a heat pump in this part for heating. I just bought a home that had a single owner plus was built fifty years ago. The home is small, well built plus will be perfect for our purposes. I love to find these types of home that need a bit of work. Once I get them in fantastic shape, I rent them out. This beach house was the right price plus I lucked out that I was able to make a currency offer. The estate was selling it so they wanted something quick even if it wasn’t near the asking price. My first bit of labor was aimed directly at the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C equipment. This beach house had been using an electric oil furnace. It’s a baseboard oil furnace method that must have cost a fortune to run with less than stellar heating results. I noted there were other space heating systems used as well. I can’t genuinely imagine what it must have been love in that beach house when it was genuinely freezing outside. I substituted that electric heating method with a set of ductless heat pumps. These are state of the art Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C technology. They are super efficient plus they produce quality heating plus air no problem. I’m sure this beach house will be far, far warmer plus cheaper to heat than ever before.
