Cape Cod upper floors sit under the roof with small knee-wall spaces and little ductwork. A ductless system is often the simplest fix.
In a ranch, the ductwork in the basement or crawlspace is usually easy to reach. Sealing and balancing it is one of the most effective, least expensive improvements.
In a Victorian home, keep the radiators if they work well and add cooling with a high-velocity system or mini splits, avoiding major changes to the house.
