My partner plus I constantly admired the big, old houses in the historical district of Orland Park, when my associate and I finally got the occasion to purchase one of these gorgeous properties, my associate and I didn’t hesitate, however the house features original woodwork, including the floors, doors, moldings plus staircase.
- There are mullioned windows, ornate wainscotting plus decorative crown molding.
While my associate and I are absolutely happy with our home, it has presented some concerns. The weather in Orland Park is constantly a challenge. The conditions require both heating plus cooling, however because our house was built while in the mid 1780s, it lacks conventional HVAC duct. The former owners were relying on a combination of window cooling systems plus box fans in the Summer plus electric baseboard boilers in the winter… Not only was the assortment of portable equipment an eyesore, but it failed to keep up with demand. The living space was boiling plus sticky or chilly cold for most of the year, but my partner plus I were unwilling to destroy the architectural integrity of the house for the sake of installing HVAC duct, i did some research plus learned about high-velocity systems. This choice is designed to retrofit into older homes without disruption. The tploy innovation is the mini-ducts that are only two-inches in diameter plus versatile enough to be routed through existing walls. They are able to accommodate plumbing pipes, power lines plus studs. The mini-ducts affix to circular-shaped vents that are only six inches in diameter plus can be installed almost anywhere in the room. The high-velocity heating system doesn’t detract from our decor or the charm of the house plus yet provides perfect year round comfort.
