Interior designer Leanne Ford and her husband Erik found the fixer-upper home of their dreams when they relocated from Los Angeles to Pittsburgh in 2020. "It sat empty for years. I truly felt like it was waiting for us," Ford said. Four stories tall with 12-foot ceilings, the circa 1900 house was brimming with design potential but needed a complete systems revamp, including the HVAC.
室內設計師Leanne Ford和她的丈夫Erik在2020年從洛杉磯搬到匹茲堡時，找到了他們夢寐以求的翻修之家。"它空置多年。我真的覺得它在等着我們。" Ford說道。四層樓，12英尺高的天花板，約1900年的房子充滿了設計潛力，但需要進行全面的系統翻新，包括供暖、通風和空調系統。
"When starting a new interior design project, cosmetic changes - like picking out paint colors - are the fun part," Ford said. "But what's behind the walls, the electrical, plumbing updates, structural check-ins, HVAC upgrades, the not-so-glamorous stuff, those are often not talked about."
"開始一個新的室內設計項目時，化妝變化 - 如選擇油漆顏色 - 是有趣的部分，" Ford說。如果說這些化妝變化是表面的話，電氣、水管更新、結構檢查、供暖、通風和空調升級、不那麼迷人的東西，那就很少討論了。
Among the first jobs on the list: Remove the existing radiant heat system. Though Ford says she loves radiant heat systems, especially the elegant styling of turn-of-the-century radiators, the system they found in the house was less than desirable. The existing fixtures were not only not attractive, but they were also non-functional, replete with leaks and mold.
首先要做的工作之一是拆掉現有的輻射供暖系統。儘管Ford說她喜歡輻射供暖系統，尤其是20世紀之交散熱器優雅的設計風格，但他們在房子裏找到的系統卻不盡人意。現有的裝置不僅醜陋，而且功能不全，不僅漏水，還長滿了黴菌。
"At the end of the day, the right decision for my family was to modernize our heating and cooling systems," Ford said. After researching available options, she selected Trane. Trane installed a complete HVAC system, including a 5-ton variable speed heat pump, humidifiers, a ventilator, and an array of environmental sensors.
"歸根結底，對我們家庭來說，正確的決定是現代化我們的供暖和空調系統，" Ford說。研究了可用的選項後，她選擇了特靈。特靈安裝了一套完整的供暖通風和空氣調節系統，包括一臺5噸變速熱泵、加溼器、一個呼吸機和一系列環境傳感器。
Because several family members suffered from allergies, Ford also added a CleanEffects Whole Home Air Cleaner. 100 times more effective than a standard one-inch air filter, CleanEffects dramatically reduces dust, pollen, mildew, and other asthma and allergy triggers. Ford also added the Trane ComfortLink XL1050 thermostat, which would allow the family to optimize temperature and humidity levels in different zones of the house in real-time.
由於幾位家庭成員患有過敏症，Ford還添加了CleanEffects全屋空氣淨化器。CleanEffects的效果是標準1英寸空氣過濾器的100倍，大大減少了灰塵、花粉、黴菌和其他哮喘和過敏源。Ford還添加了特靈ComfortLink XL1050智能溫控器，可以讓家庭實時優化房屋各個區域的溫度和溼度水平。
Another key feature: the Trane variable speed system, which allows the compressor, outdoor fan and indoor fan to vary their speed with changing outdoor temperatures, increasing comfort in the home. The Trane Home app added a finishing touch of convenience and control, giving the Fords the ability to monitor or adjust their home environment from anywhere at any time.
另一個關鍵功能是特靈的變速系統，它允許壓縮機、室外風扇和室內風扇隨着室外溫度的變化而變化速度，增加了家庭的舒適度。特靈家庭應用程序增加了便利和控制的完美之處，使福特一家能夠隨時隨地監控或調節他們的家庭環境。
Ford says she and her family are thrilled with the results. Their newly updated home is not only far more comfortable than it was before the new system, but also more efficient.
Ford表示她和她的家人對結果感到非常滿意。他們新近更新的家不僅比新系統之前更加舒適，而且效率更高。
But perhaps most important of all are the improvements in indoor air quality, and the added safety those improvements can bring. That's particularly true of the basement. Once a dank, cramped area filled with old boiler components, ducts and near endless wires and pipes, the lower level is now home to Ford's studio.
但或許最重要的是室內空氣質量的提高，以及這些改進可以帶來的額外安全保障。這一點在地下室尤其明顯。地下室曾經是一個陰暗、擁擠的地方，充滿了舊鍋爐零部件、管道和一堆綿延不絕的電線和管道。現在，地下室是福特的工作室。
Ford says she is now fully confident that the members of her family can live both happy and healthy lives in their new home. "That peace of mind is everything to me," she says. "The truth is how you feel in a space is just as important, if not more, than how it looks."
福特說，她現在完全有信心家人能夠在新家中過上快樂健康的生活。"這種安心感對我來說非常重要，"她說。"事實上，你在空間中的感受和外觀一樣重要，甚至更重要。"
