My beach house is located in the historic district of the city and was constructed in the early 1740’s.
The property features the original hardwood floors, doors, moldings and mantle.
There are high ceilings, big windows and gorgeous antique light fixtures. I care about resting on the wide back porch and enjoying the view of the lake. The weather in our local section creates some difficulties. The house was never equipped with conventional air duct. For a few years, the two of us tried to achieve comfort by way of a series of window cooling systems, box fans and electric heaters. The house felt hot and sticky in the Summer and frosty all winter. The heating and cooling components detracted from aesthetics, weren’t effective and cost quite a bit in energy bills. We needed to make some improvements. I began looking into alternatives and came across high velocity heating and cooling. This category of plan was particular ly designed for older homes without air duct. Rather chopping down walls and ceilings, making a large mess and compromixing the historical integrity, the two of us invested into high velocity temperature control. The component is compact enough to fit into a closet. The bendy, mini-air duct can be retrofitted into the home. It can be threaded into existing walls and ceilings and around electrical boxes, plumbing pipes and studs without causing disfigure. The smaller air duct is insulated to prevent energy waste and introduces heated or cooled air into the beach house at a truly high rate of speed.It can abruptly raise or lower room temperature. The shorter run times help to keep heating and cooling costs to a minimum.
