In Reply to: Heating system: ductless ain't the way we're going. posted by tinear on December 19, 2014 at 10:07:40:
very slow to heat up, and when it gets warm enough and you turn it down it takes a long time to taper off. Lived with it in Palo Alto in the 1960s, most of the homes that had it have turned it off and had heating systems installed.
Expect lengthy periods of too cool followed later by too warm. It gets old real fast.
