By the cost and difficulty of the installation process, Many owners of older homes without forced-air HVAC systems, would like to add central air conditioning and or heating ducts, and are daunted.
As option, coil can be mounted in the air handling unit for boiler heating or chilled water cooling.
Alternatively, adding bank of electric heating elements to the handler can provide heating capability to high-velocity air-conditioning system.
The systems require number of outlets--, --adding to material costs and installation time..
The Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute certifies high-velocity air distribution systems for use with numerous heat pumps, air conditioners, and heat sources..
Placing air outlets in areas of room, such as in corners of ceiling, or beside windows or doors, can in output that improves room air mixture without causing discomfort to occupants..
The mini-duct systems carry manufacturer's warranty for period of year from the date of installation.
In the air conditioning season, humidity levels can allow occupants to feel comfortable with the thermostat set at temperature, resulting in reduced energy costs.
In both heating and cooling seasons, delivering air at velocity through smaller lines mixes the room air more effectively, reducing stratification, and eliminating the need to place duct outlets at windows or exterior walls to avoid cold spots..
For in existing homes, the 2 lines can be fed through joists, wall cavities, and around common obstructions, so that costly and disruptive structural alterations can be avoided.
