HVAC Contractor in Piqua, OH

Yes. We often replace oversized round ducts with a properly sized trunk system when a furnace is changed, which improves airflow and frees up basement headroom. We also serve neighboring Troy and the rest of Miami County.

Very. Leaky old houses pull in cold, dry air. A whole-house humidifier helps protect woodwork and makes the house feel warmer.

Usually. Condensing furnaces vent through PVC out a sidewall, which frees the old chimney, but the vent location has to be planned around windows, gas meters and snow line. If the water heater stays on the chimney, we check whether that flue needs a liner.

Yes, without tearing out the radiators. Most radiator homes keep their boiler for heat and add cooling through a multi-zone ductless system or a small-duct high-velocity system in the attic. The ductless route is usually less invasive in a house with finished third-floor rooms and no attic space to speak of.

We test for carbon monoxide at the flue and in the room, inspect the heat exchanger, confirm draft on every appliance sharing the chimney, and check gas pressure and the flame sensor. We also look at wiring to the furnace, since century-old houses often have past electrical changes of mixed quality. Our preventative maintenance plan repeats this every fall.

Usually along the side or back of the house, where it is out of sight from the street and close to the indoor coil. We pick the spot with you during the estimate, keeping it clear of downspouts, dryer vents and neighbors' windows. If exterior changes need approval where you live, sort that out before the install date.

The ground stays cool and wet near the river, and warm summer air condenses on cold basement walls, pipes and ducts. A dehumidifier drained to a floor drain, insulated supply ducts and a sealed return usually bring the humidity down so the furnace and stored belongings stop rusting and mildewing.
