Short answer
We serve Uptown, ZIP 70115. Many homes here are large and two stories, often with tall ceilings, so the common problems are an upstairs that never cools, two aging systems wearing out at once, and drains or ducts tucked into tight attic spaces. We repair, rebalance, zone and replace systems, and the line is answered 24/7.
Big houses, two floors and tall ceilings
Uptown's bigger houses were built for cross breezes, tall ceilings and deep porches, not for a single thermostat. When one system serves both floors, the upstairs runs hot under the roof while the downstairs gets cold. The fix depends on the ducts: rebalancing the dampers may be enough, a zoning system can give each floor its own thermostat, and very large homes are usually better served by two systems, one per floor.
Many Uptown homes already have two systems, often installed at different times, and they tend to fail one after the other. When one goes, we look at both, since replacing them together can mean better matching, one installation visit and a simpler maintenance schedule. Plaster walls and decorative ceilings mean we plan duct changes carefully and keep new grilles where they suit the rooms.
