Glad to be rid of air ducts – no rodents

When I first moved into this little cabin I thought that it was kind of a strange living situation.

I’ve never lived in such a small and quaint facility before.

I’ve always lived in a big suburban house that was recently built by some big box contractor. The houses are always fairly cheaply built, but have all of the high-tech amenities that woo consumers these days. Our house is always had smart thermostats, zone control heating, an enormous central heating and air conditioning systems that took so much energy to power up each day. When I got into this little cabin on the other hand, there really was not much of an HVAC system to worry about. In fact this tiny little house only has two mini split heating and air conditioning ventilation systems. If you haven’t heard of those before, you aren’t the only one. But you may have seen them before. These high end heating and air conditioning systems work without using any ducts. This is incredible to me, considering how large our prior homes were. We had expansive ductwork that required extensive professional servicing each year. Since this home is so simple, I can use the mini split heating and air conditioning systems to regulate the temperature in space without having to shuttle air through long air ducks. It’s really amazing, not only for the cleanliness and low upkeep costs, but also so I don’t hear rodents carrying around in my air ducts all night long. Being way out here in the woods in a cabin, I’m already hearing enough of those animals scurrying around on the roof.
