After getting a couple of estimates for uncommon types of Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C replacements, the two of us thought that the ductless mini split system would entirely be our best bet.
It was much cheaper than going for something like radiant radiant floors.
That type of furnace install was shockingly expensive, however I saw most of the cost was pulling up the floors in order to install the piping for this type of system. I figure if you want to go for an replacement like that, you are better off doing it when the beach house is being built. This beach house that the two of us have though is old, from the 50s actually. There was no way I was going for a pricey replacement, however the ductless Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system seemed like a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed the system of having more than 2 zones with customized temperature control settings throughout. So I made arrangements with the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C company to have the ductless mini split installed. Both of us got a whopping 7 zones in our home, covering all the main areas plus all the entryways. The Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C experts were telling us how they were placing the indoor units strategically for ultimate comfort plus energy efficiency. Well, so far this current zoned Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C has been a dream. The energy savings are overwhelming. Both of us used to use the gas oil furnace for heating, however now the two of us only use the ductless plus the two of us are saving hundreds each month for our heating bills! Both of us still have the gas oil furnace in our home, however I figure we’d only turn it on in the case of an emergency.
