Ductless Mini-Split Installation in Schenectady: what's different
Ductless Mini-Split Installation in Schenectady is shaped by local conditions. Adding cooling: Ductless heat pumps are the main way to add efficient cooling to radiator-heated homes without ductwork.
Many older homes heat with gas boilers and radiators, sometimes steam, and two-family homes often have separate systems per floor. Central air is less common in older homes, and ductless heat pumps are a popular upgrade.
