Redwood City housing and HVAC

Most homes have gas forced-air furnaces and many have no central AC. Redwood Shores homes and condos often have newer systems, and heat pumps are common in remodels. Mount Carmel and downtown homes from the 1920s to 1940s often have floor furnaces or older forced-air systems with small ducts, while Emerald Hills homes sit on wooded slopes with long duct runs.
