For years my living room heating situation hadn’t been great, but i used a ventless furnace on the floor that entirely didn’t do its task.
The furnace wouldn’t frequently flash a clogged filter light at me.
I then would scrub out the filter and it would work for maybe a few hours. Then the warning light would come back on. I even had my partner use an air compressor to blow all the dust and dirt out of it. The furnace still threatens us. I was distraught it would catch on fire if left unattended, however even when it heated, it wasn’t entirely good. The stone floors in the living room were chilly. The tile countertops didn’t assume good, nobody wanted to hang out in that space. I finally ripped out the ventless furnace to get more lower cabinet storage. I then mounted an indoor air handler and temperature control on the wall. I now own a ductless mini cut and it is so much better. The ductless furnace entirely can moderate the entire space. The stone no longer feels chilly and people are more likely to linger in the living room now. Another bonus to this type of system is that it provides cooling. The cooling system is so good in the summer. Nowhere else in my condo is there an a/c, but honestly if I had to choose, having AC in the living room is best. I cannot cool myself down while running the boiling oven and burners on top. Also, the smart temperature control means I can adjust the temperature even if I am not at home. I just need my cellphone and WIFI to operate the app.
