Housing and equipment in Tuscany
Tuscany homes have conventional purpose-built mechanical rooms, and the earlier phases were often built with mid-efficiency equipment vented into a chimney, while later phases used high-efficiency furnaces with sidewall venting.
- Which of the two a home has changes a replacement project substantially.
- Homes backing the coulee frequently have walkout basements with above-grade walls, which carry more heating load than a buried basement.
