To Keep or Not to Keep … that is the Question

To Keep or Not to Keep … that is the Question

The biggest dilemma faced thus far is what type of heating/air system to use.   Our neighbor used a fabulous high velocity heat pump system – minimizing unsightly chases and keeping a few radiators for back up.  We considered it, but decided to go with a gas furnace and removal of all radiators.  I hated thinking about destroying one of the historic elements of the house, but gaining some valuable floor space sweetened the thought.   Several of the more decorative ones were harder to part with … but two were cracked and managed to completely destroy the hardwood floors under them with their constant drip.

Not sure I’ll know how to act without the hissing and clanging of the radiators in the middle of the night.  After living in an 1892 Victorian farm house for over 20 years, my ears have become accustomed to the sound.  I hope we made the right decision!
