[quote=Anonymous]OP here. We just got an estimate from a contractor. He recommended that we do a traditional AC install in the attic, which they would size appropriately for the attic, first, and second floors. Ductwork could run through back corners of closets in all the rooms. I asked about splitting into zones, and he said they could surely do it, but it'd be a big cost upper from the equipment standpoint and didn't recommend it. He recommended not changing the radiators, and not running AC to the basement, as it's basically all underground. We discussed that a mini split could be added to the basement later if needed. He said they'd put the ductwork in place in the attic with a damper so that we could turn it off when not used, and they'd put the ductwork and boot in place to just be finished with a register when we were ready. Waiting on an estimate - they seemed to think it was a simple job.[/quote]
