Cincinnati housing and HVAC

Older homes often have boilers or older furnaces, and Over-the-Rhine's historic buildings need careful HVAC retrofits. Cincinnati's older neighborhoods have brick Italianate homes and early 1900s houses with basements, high ceilings and plaster walls. Many have had gas furnaces added to former gravity or boiler systems, with ductwork that is undersized for modern central air. Newer suburbs to the north and east have standard furnace and AC systems, often with two systems in larger two-story homes.
