At 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, we love a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping our customers comfortable without altering the charm and characteristics of an older New England home. That was the case in Marblehead, where this homeowner wanted modern comfort in their coastal 1930s-era home without relying on bulky window A/C units.
This home had never had air conditioning before, so our team needed to design a custom solution from the ground up while working with Mass Save® to get the best financing and rebates. Installing A/C in a nearly century-old home comes with unique challenges, especially when dealing with a tight attic crawl space. Our team carefully routed ductwork to minimize disruption to the existing structure while maximizing airflow throughout the home. By using the attic, we kept the installation discreet and preserved the charm of the interior spaces.
With this new system, this homeowner can stay cool all summer long with the convenience of whole-home air conditioning and without the hassle of window A/Cs. If you own an older home and think central A/C isn’t an option, think again. At 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, we’re here to help you find the best cooling solution for your home.
