The Problem: The existing home in Maplewood, NJ, lacks air conditioning, resulting in discomfort during hot weather, especially in the finished basement and attic areas. Additionally, the historic nature of the home presents a challenge, requiring minimal intrusion on the exterior for any installation.
The Solution: ICS (Integrated Comfort Systems) tackled the challenge by installing a total of seven ductless ceiling cassette zones. This innovative solution ensures efficient cooling throughout the home while minimizing disruption to the historic exterior. By strategically placing the ductless zones, we provide targeted cooling to both the finished basement and attic areas, enhancing comfort without compromising the architectural integrity of the home.
