Baltimore housing and HVAC

Rowhouses often use gas furnaces or boilers, with mini-splits or window units for cooling. Roof-mounted condensers are common on rowhouses. Baltimore rowhouses typically have a furnace or boiler in the basement and a condenser on the roof, with ducts running through closets or chases. Older rowhouses may have had several layers of renovation, so ductwork can be inconsistent. Suburban homes in Baltimore County have more conventional furnace and AC setups.

Hot, humid summers, cold winters and coastal storms.

Permits and seasonal timing in Baltimore

Baltimore City's Department of Housing and Community Development issues permits in the city, and Baltimore County handles surrounding areas. Schedule AC service in spring and heating service in fall. Rooftop units on rowhouses should be inspected for flashing and roof leaks.
