[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you go for a traditional HVAC, think about where you're going to place the compressor. It would be easier to access on the patio, but noisy and not very pretty, especially if your lot is on the smaller side. My compressor is on the roof, which while quiet and out of sight, becomes a colossal PITA when anything needs to be done. I don't have roof access from the inside of my rowhouse, so even something as simple as clearing away snow requires a dangerous climb several floors up an exterior ladder. Replacing it will require a crane, which will add thousands to the cost. If I could choose from scratch, I would keep radiator heat and and add split packs. The mini compressors have a smaller footprint and can be attached to the exterior wall itself.[/quote] I'm not familiar with the terms split packs and mini compressor. Is there a general name for this system that I can research more? [/quote]
