Older frame homes lose heat through walls and windows. Sealing and insulation can make a new furnace far more effective.
A ductless head is the simplest way to cool an attic in a home without ducts.
Before buying a bigger furnace, ask about sealing ducts and air leaks. In older frame homes, that often matters more than furnace size.
For cooling, decide whether you want the whole house or a few rooms. That decides between central air and ductless.
