New HVAC & Concealment Soffit
Modern Comfort in a New Haven Classic: A Full HVAC Rehaul
There is a unique charm to the historic multifamily homes in New Haven, CT. From the ornate trim to the high ceilings, they tell a story of the city’s rich architectural past. However, those stories often include a chapter about outdated, inefficient heating systems that leave tenants shivering in the winter and sweltering in the summer.
At Hunters Service Pros, we recently took on a project that perfectly illustrates how to bring a classic property into the 21st century without sacrificing its soul.
Out With the Old: The Total Gut
The landlord of this New Haven multifamily came to us with a common headache: a failing, ancient heating system that was costing a fortune in repairs and providing uneven warmth. After a thorough assessment, we skipped the "band-aid" fixes and opted for a total system rehaul.
We started by gutting the existing infrastructure. Clearing out the old clutter allowed us to design a system from the ground up that would provide reliable, energy-efficient climate control for every unit.
The Challenge: Adding Ductwork to Older Architecture
In older homes, there usually isn't a "hidden" spot for modern HVAC lines. To provide both heating and cooling, we ran brand-new, high-efficiency ducts and refrigerant lines throughout the building.
To keep the aesthetic clean and professional, our team performed precision carpentry and finishing:
Custom Soffits: We built new structural concealments to tuck away the venting and lines.
Seamless Integration: We sealed everything up with fresh drywall, ensuring the new additions looked like they belonged to the original structure.
The Finishing Touch: A fresh coat of paint made the new soffits disappear into the room, leaving only the comfort of climate control behind.
The Result: Tenant Satisfaction & Property Value
The property now boasts a modern HVAC system that is whisper-quiet and incredibly effective. By switching to a dual heating and cooling setup, the landlord has increased the property’s value and ensured that their tenants stay comfortable 365 days a year.
