A historical home provides unique architectural charm and features. My home was built during the early nineteen-hundreds and the quality of construction and masonry is apparent. The walls and ceilings are constructed of a heavy duty lath and plaster. The floors, doors and moldings are hardwood. We have intricately designed wainscotting and crown molding, mullioned windows and high ceilings. However, there are also some drawbacks of an older home. When we moved in, the electrical panel and wires weren’t up to modern safety codes. There was one outlet in each room and most of the overhead lights operated by way of a pull-chain. The plumbing was outdated, the windows leaked air and there was no insulation in the walls. One of the biggest concerns was the lack of conventional ductwork, which prevented us from having centralized heating and cooling. Fortunately, high-velocity systems are designed especially to install into older homes without a major remodeling project. The system utilizes mini-ducts that are only two-inches in diameter and flexible. They route through existing walls, accommodating pipes, wires and studs, and connect to circular vents that are about six inches in diameter. The heating/cooling unit is wonderfully compact and able to be installed into a closet. It works by sending heated or cooled air into the rooms of the home at a very high rate of speed. It can quickly raise or lower temperature through a process of aspiration. Because of shorter run times, smaller ducts and insulated ducts, the system costs very little to operate. My husband and I are delighted to have a thermostat to adjust for year round comfort.
