Hi, I'm thinking about replacing electric baseboard heating units and window
air conditioners with central air/heat. no ductwork installed .during the 70's the original hot water radiators were replaced by electric baseboared heat. It's an 1150sq ft brick rowhouse. Thanks, Mike |

If Ductwork Installation could be a problem or too costly, I would go with ductless mini-split units.

Tell him to buy a new thermostat and then go lick a window. Now if you for instance had a question. Id tell you to buy a new thermostat and go lick a battery terminal. |
