Boiler short cycling on mild days
An older boiler that fires briefly and shuts off over and over may be oversized or have a control problem. Resetting controls or adding outdoor reset can smooth it out.
No space for ducts
Plaster walls and finished ceilings leave no room for standard ductwork. High-velocity systems and mini splits are designed for exactly this.
Before you replace anything
Adding Comfort to a Graceland West Home
Start with the boiler: a tune-up, bled radiators and correct settings often make an older system noticeably more comfortable before any bigger change.
For cooling, decide which rooms matter most. Mini splits suit a few rooms; high-velocity systems suit cooling a whole floor or house.
