If your log cabin does not have ductwork and you don’t want to install a duct system, there are energy efficient options available for both heating and cooling. A ductless mini-split system is an option for both whole home heating and cooling, as well as adding heating and cooling to just a few areas. These systems use air handlers directly installed in the areas they serve, which are connected to an exterior heat pump or air conditioner. One system can support multiple zones, serving many areas of your cabin. Direct-vent wall furnaces are a type of standalone heating system that can be installed to serve smaller cabins. They deliver heat directly to the area in which they are installed. Gas or electric models are available, and these units offer numerous safety and comfort features to protect your cabin and your comfort. High velocity forced air systems are a ducted option, but the ductwork they use is much smaller than the ductwork used in a conventional forced air system. This may be a more feasible option for heating your log cabin if the space cannot accommodate larger ducts. High velocity log cabin HVAC systems are extremely quiet and won’t disturb the peace of your rustic getaway home. Another option for log cabin heating and cooling is to use portable heaters and air conditioners. This may be your preferred option in a smaller cabin that is not frequently occupied. Portable and window air conditioners deliver cooling into the space which they are installed and varying capacities are available. Portable heaters deliver warmth directly into the room they are installed. New portable heating units include safety features to lower the risk of injury and fire. Many stylish models are available to mesh with the décor of your log cabin.
