HVAC was finished yesterday. The furnace is installed but not on. We still do not have the basement windows in yet, and there is no insulation. So it is really not time to turn on the furnace yet. We are anxious for it though as the house is always freezing!
We discovered it is difficult to install modern HVAC in an old house - here was the penalty for keeping the shell. In a modern house, there are significantly more return air runs, which we have previously discovered is required for a high efficiency furnace to work. There is going to be visible ductwork along the middle of the house in the basement. However, I think all the rooms look really good. The upside of the modern HVAC: even heating/cooling throughout the house. This was a big issue before especially in the old sun room (now dining room and living room). I am excited to see how it turns out!
