I appreciate the responses and link to the message board.

I've since learned there are a few installers out of Nola - seemingly for the historic homes - but unfortunately none of them work outside of the metro area or have the capacity to.

I'm hoping that one of the major HV companies can work with a local HVAC guy to get things set up. It appears the major differences are in the planning of how you size the system and how many and where to place the outputs.

I'd think that someone with much more experience and knowledge in this area could follow the schematics and do the labor of getting it installed. Will see how it goes.

Looking for any feedback or information one can provide on high velocity HVAC systems:

- Installers around Baton Rouge?
- Cost differences vs traditional HVAC locally?
- How it handles on 90°+ days?
- If you have an HV system, would you do it again? Changes you’d make? Suggestions?
- Brands to consider or avoid?
- Smart thermostat capable?

Looking into this option as an alternative in an extensive remodel/restoration of an historic home without much room to run the ductwork necessary to reach the various rooms and auxiliary spaces - most of which would need to be (expensive) fabricated, rigid ducts.

One estimate for the traditional HVAC install calls for two multi-zoned 5 ton units - each to service ~2000 sf (one up and one down) - to the tune of about $50k.
