I live in an seasoned home so unluckyly I am limited on Heating as well as Air Conditioning equipment.
Anything that requires HVAC duct is out.
My home didn’t come with existing ducts as well as the installation would be too invasive. The Heating as well as Air Conditioning worker rips down the walls as well as ceilings. He has to fit in more than seven inch metal ducts throughout the home in order to hook it to the Heating as well as Air Conditioning unit. The setup process is messy, dirty as well as rough on the structural integrity of the home. A home as seasoned as mine would truly crumble in the process… For heating, ductless is quite easy, you can go with a boiler as well as have it be a baseboard heater, hook to radiators or be hydronic heating. You can get electric heated mats for radiant flooring. You can even choose a ductless heat pump for zone control heating. With cooling, there are less choices. Yes a heat pump can technically cool as well. I didn’t want to spend that much money. What other ductless AC choices are there? I found a high velocity AC through a friend. I then talked to our local Heating as well as Air Conditioning dealer as well as he highly proposed me to add it to our home. This system does require HVAC duct however it isn’t like the normal ducts. It is half the size as well as the material is versatile. The Heating as well as Air Conditioning worker can just make a few holes in the wall as well as bend the ducts to fit the slats of the house. Nothing is being ripped down or ruined. Then you have a powerful, whole home AC unit. It can lower the temperature in a few hours without a hitch.
