One of the things that homeowners did not change was the placement of the air vents or the HVAC system because they felt this would be too costly
Renovating a home can be fun but costly.It is exciting to plan and envision what a space can become but sometimes homeowners are too hasty when it comes to tearing out everything. All they can see is the new modern space and don’t take into account why it was set up the way it was originally. As an interior designer I see it all the time and I wish I could give people be Insight needed to reconsider some of their choices. Take for instance the last job I had, the homeowners wanted to rip out everything in a space and take down several of the interior walls to give the place an open concept. This seems like a good idea to them however they also removed all of the ceiling fans that were located in the home because they said they were too dated. It did seem odd that every single room had a pan but after the renovation was complete I began to understand why. One of the things that homeowners did not change was the placement of the air vents or the HVAC system because they felt this would be too costly. When it came time to turn the system on and the renovations were complete they realized that the placement was not properly done to begin with. Apparently the ceiling fans have been used to circulate the cooled and heated air throughout the house because there weren’t enough air vents to maintain a proper temperature throughout the space. Oftentimes, in older homes especially this is an economical way to circulate the climate controlled air without having to make costly changes to the way an HVAC system was installed.
