The heat is on ... the heat is o-on

Larry, our AC sub-contractor, wasted no time and has been hard at work installing our new heat and air system over at the Ugly Duckling. We have a split system, one for upstairs and one for downstairs, to better battle the Florida heat in summer and the cold in the winter (and because the duct work was already set up for a split system during the Duplex Days of our house).

This upstairs closet that houses the upstairs furnace is tiny, and in order to fit in the new unit we had to widen the door way a little

[Fits like a glove]

Nice and shiny and taking a big chuck out of our renovation budget but while the old houses handle the Florida Summer Heat really well considering the lack of tons of high-end insulation of any sort, a well functioning heat and air system is a really nice thing to have.
