The installation was not cumbersome because there are no ducts required.
An Uncle died recently and left me his big but old house. I really wasn’t certain what to do with it. I had an architect friend come look at it. He felt strongly that the bones of the house were quite structurally sound. The rest of it was a wreck. There really wasn’t anything to save from the interior of the home. I thought long and hard but decided to renovate the home with a specific idea in mind. I’ve had some really good fortune in my life so I decided I wanted to pay that forward a bit. I’m retired early so I decided to live in the house while I renovated. My first target was the HVAC or the lack there of. The house was old and had a giant boiler in the cellar. The only cooling was delivered by some decrepit window air conditioning units and ceiling fans. The fans I kept but the rest I yanked out. An HVAC contractor came out to persuade me to think about going with some newer technology that would go right along with my overall idea for the house. He suggested I put in multi split heating and cooling unit throughout the house. This way each section with one of the multi split units would be independent of the other. The installation was not cumbersome because there are no ducts required. I loved the idea. See, I have extended family all around in this area who have a hard time getting by. The way I renovated the house would allow for several apartments that can be occupied by members of the family who are a bit down on their luck. The multi split HVAC plan suited this perfectly.
