The Thompson family owned a beautiful 1890s Victorian home but struggled with high heating costs and uneven temperatures. We designed a custom air-source heat pump system that preserved the home's historic character while providing modern comfort.
The challenge was installing a modern HVAC system without compromising the home's architectural integrity. We used ductless mini-split units strategically placed to maintain the period aesthetics while ensuring optimal heating and cooling performance.
The new system reduced their heating costs by 45% while providing consistent temperatures throughout the home. The family was particularly pleased that we could maintain the original radiator locations as decorative elements.
