In 1991, Palma bought this 2000 sq. ft. traditional Cape that was built in 1950. Over the  years, she installed cellulose and foam insulation in the walls, roof, and basement sills. More recently, the aging gas boiler was starting to have challenges and the high velocity (HV) air handler was also aging. Low ceilings eliminated the ability to install a mini-split system or full air duct replacement. An Air to Water Heat Pump (AHWP) with a new high velocity (HV) air handler was the best all-electric solution.  She found a contractor who could install a AWHP and HV air handler replacement without reconstructing rooms or removing radiators. The new systems work well in all weather conditions – even at -9F.
