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.
室内设计师Leanne Ford和她的丈夫Erik在2020年从洛杉矶搬到匹兹堡时，找到了他们梦寐以求的翻修之家。"它空置多年。我真的觉得它在等着我们。" Ford说道。四层楼，12英尺高的天花板，约1900年的房子充满了设计潜力，但需要进行全面的系统翻新，包括供暖、通风和空调系统。
"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."
"开始一个新的室内设计项目时，化妆变化 - 如选择油漆颜色 - 是有趣的部分，" Ford说。如果说这些化妆变化是表面的话，电气、水管更新、结构检查、供暖、通风和空调升级、不那么迷人的东西，那就很少讨论了。
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现有的辐射供暖系统。尽管Ford说她喜欢辐射供暖系统，尤其是20世纪之交散热器优雅的设计风格，但他们在房子里找到的系统却不尽人意。现有的装置不仅丑陋，而且功能不全，不仅漏水，还长满了霉菌。
"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.
"归根结底，对我们家庭来说，正确的决定是现代化我们的供暖和空调系统，" Ford说。研究了可用的选项后，她选择了特灵。特灵安装了一套完整的供暖通风和空气调节系统，包括一台5吨变速热泵、加湿器、一个呼吸机和一系列环境传感器。
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.
由于几位家庭成员患有过敏症，Ford还添加了CleanEffects全屋空气净化器。CleanEffects的效果是标准1英寸空气过滤器的100倍，大大减少了灰尘、花粉、霉菌和其他哮喘和过敏源。Ford还添加了特灵ComfortLink XL1050智能温控器，可以让家庭实时优化房屋各个区域的温度和湿度水平。
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.
另一个关键功能是特灵的变速系统，它允许压缩机、室外风扇和室内风扇随着室外温度的变化而变化速度，增加了家庭的舒适度。特灵家庭应用程序增加了便利和控制的完美之处，使福特一家能够随时随地监控或调节他们的家庭环境。
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表示她和她的家人对结果感到非常满意。他们新近更新的家不仅比新系统之前更加舒适，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.
但或许最重要的是室内空气质量的提高，以及这些改进可以带来的额外安全保障。这一点在地下室尤其明显。地下室曾经是一个阴暗、拥挤的地方，充满了旧锅炉零部件、管道和一堆绵延不绝的电线和管道。现在，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."
福特说，她现在完全有信心家人能够在新家中过上快乐健康的生活。"这种安心感对我来说非常重要，"她说。"事实上，你在空间中的感受和外观一样重要，甚至更重要。"
