HVAC for older and larger homes

Older and larger homes put different demands on an HVAC system than a newer subdivision house: longer duct runs, rooms added over the years onto the original system's capacity, and sometimes two systems splitting the house by floor or wing. If some rooms are always too hot or too cold, the fix may be zoning or duct changes rather than a bigger furnace, and a company that only quotes equipment is skipping the diagnosis.

Boilers are the other thing older homes bring. If your home heats with radiators or baseboards, confirm the company services boilers specifically; not every HVAC shop does, and the skill set is genuinely different from forced-air work. The listings below show each company's home town on its card, so you can ask about boiler experience before anyone drives out.

Carbon monoxide: the quiet part of furnace season

Any furnace that burns gas can produce carbon monoxide when something goes wrong with combustion or venting, which is why a heat exchanger inspection belongs in every fall tune-up and why the safety check is not the place to save twenty minutes. A company should be able to tell you exactly what its combustion safety check covers.

On your side of the wall: CO alarms near the sleeping areas and on every level with fuel-burning equipment, tested like smoke alarms and replaced at the age the manufacturer prints on the unit. Plug-in models with a battery backup and a digital display typically cost $30 to $60 and show low-level readings before they reach alarm thresholds.
