Enjoy Modern Comfort for Your Older Home
Do you love the charm and character of your older home, but wish there were an easier way to enjoy modern air conditioning? American Vintage Home provides high-velocity HVAC system services designed for older homes across the Chicago North Shore.
Many North Shore homes were built without ductwork, and the features that make them beautiful can also make cooling tricky: plaster walls, finished attics, limited chase space, and carefully preserved trim. High-velocity systems are built for these constraints, delivering whole-home comfort with smaller, more flexible ductwork and efficient HVAC equipment.
With a high-velocity HVAC system installed, you can improve comfort without sacrificing the details that make your home unique. Call (847) 999-4595 to learn more about these systems for your Chicago-area home.
What Is a High-Velocity HVAC System?
A small-duct, high-velocity HVAC system provides fast and efficient heating and cooling throughout your home. A specialized HVAC unit produces warm or cool air based on your needs, and the ductwork system delivers that air quickly throughout the home. The high-velocity delivery can help the home feel comfortable faster and more evenly.
For older homes throughout the North Shore, the real advantage is fit. This type of system is often chosen when homeowners want central-style comfort but do not want to open walls or rebuild spaces just to add traditional ductwork.
Heat or cool your home fast and efficiently with a high-velocity system. Call (847) 999-4595 to request a free estimate for a high-velocity HVAC installation in the Chicago area.
Types of High-Velocity Systems
When it comes to high-velocity HVAC units, American Vintage Home has you covered. We specialize in installing two major brands: SpacePak and Unico.
- SpacePak systems are designed for older homes and are built to fit into unique spaces without requiring bulky ductwork.
- Unico systems are a strong option for radiator-heated homes and can deliver comfort without the disruption of major construction.
Local planning matters in older homes. Whether you are in a classic Evanston layout, a Wilmette two-story, or a lake-adjacent home in Winnetka or Glencoe, the system design needs to match the structure, not the other way around. That is why the consultation and design phase is just as important as the installation.
Benefits of a High-Velocity HVAC System
A high-velocity HVAC system provides many benefits to a homeowner. A few perks include:
- Quick heating and cooling: These systems are designed to distribute conditioned air efficiently, helping the home reach the set temperature faster than many traditional setups.
- Energy efficiency: Faster air distribution can reduce runtime when the system is properly designed and installed for the home.
- Easy retrofitting: Even when a home has limited space or older construction materials, a high-velocity system can often be installed with less disruption than adding full-size ductwork.
During Chicago summers, comfort is not only about temperature. Many homeowners also want better humidity control and fewer hot spots across floors and additions. A high-velocity system is often selected to improve consistency throughout the home.
Cooling or warming a home with a high-velocity HVAC system is a convenient and energy-efficient option. Call (847) 999-4595 to schedule a high-velocity HVAC installation in Chicagoland.
