Milwaukee housing and HVAC
Milwaukee duplexes often have two furnaces or boilers. Basements are common, and central AC varies by home age. Milwaukee's housing stock is heavy on early 1900s bungalows and the city's distinctive 'Polish flats' and duplexes, many with gravity-era ductwork or hot-water boilers. Converting older systems often involves new chimney liners, because high-efficiency furnaces vent through PVC instead of the old masonry chimney. Central AC is common in post-war neighborhoods on the northwest and southwest sides, while older East Side and Riverwest homes often rely on window units or mini-splits. Duplex owners often schedule both units on the same visit.
Cold, snowy winters and warm, humid summers.
Permits and seasonal timing in Milwaukee
