I am moving in my brownstone on May 1st and I don’t have central air. I am going to be installing Mitsubishi mr slims in my rental unit but I want some nice exposed duct work for my owners unit. I am not sure if most HVAC people are used to doing this and want someone who is experienced and will know what will look good and reasonably priced. Anyone have any ideas?

The most common is called “spiral duct” see this link for other ideas http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/7371030/list/HVAC-Exposed–20-Ideas-for-Daring-Ductwork for expediting see http://nyc-dob.com

I am wondering if I even need to get permits to have this work done. It seems everyone is just doing anything they want near me with no permits being taken out.
