I’m genuinely not so sure how the previous owners were able to keep hot through the winter.
While our region isn’t near as taxing with Wintertide weather as our neighbors further north, it’s no afternoon at the beach either.
Many people rely on either a gas furnace or a heat pump in this section for heating. I just bought a apartment that had a single owner & was built fifty years ago. The apartment is small, well built & will be perfect for our purposes. I prefer to find these types of apartment that need a bit of work. Once I get them in great shape, I rent them out. This condo was the right price & I lucked out that I was able to make a money offer. The estate was selling it so they wanted something quick even if it wasn’t near the asking price. My first bit of work was aimed directly at the Heating & Air Conditioning equipment. This condo had been using an electric gas furnace. It’s a baseboard gas furnace plan that must have cost a luck to run with less than stellar heating results. I noted there were other space oil furnaces used as well. I can’t genuinely imagine what it must have been prefer in that condo when it was genuinely cold outside. I replaced that electric heating plan with a set of ductless heat pumps. These are state of the art Heating & Air Conditioning technology. They are super efficient & they produce quality heating & air no problem. I’m sure this condo will be far, far warmer & cheaper to heat than ever before.
