A couple of years ago, my spouse and I bought a historical home in Springfield, Missouri; My fantastic friend and I fell in cherish with the hardwood floors, moldings and staircase.
My fantastic friend and I couldn’t resist the charm of the wide front porch, intricate millwork and many stained glass windows. My fantastic friend and I never considered how hard the truly large, truly old home would be to heat and cool! In Springfield, temperature control is especially pressing, however the winters are long, chilly cold and windy. The summers bring temperatures in the upper eighties and excessive humidity. In-between, we deal with damp, cold conditions. My fantastic friend and I switch between heating and cooling with truly little chop in-between! Once we moved in, my spouse and I realized that the former owners were getting by with a combination of portable electric heaters, box fans and window cooling systems. Our home was uncomfortably cold for half the year and overheated and sticky the other half. I was not thrilled with the look of all those many heating and cooling components. I wanted something centralized; However, my spouse and I were unwilling to tear down walls and ceilings and sacrifice space and architectural integrity for the sake of ductwork. My fantastic friend and I consulted with a local Springfield Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C professional, who suggested a high velocity system. This type of system is designed particularally to retrofit into older homes. It features mini-ducts that are only two-inches in diameter and stretchy enough to snake through existing walls. They are able to be worked around studs, plumbing and electrical boxes without causing harm. The high-velocity heating and cooling system provides conditioned air at a high rate of speed to abruptly raise or lower room temperature.
