Heat for Hartford's older buildings
Hartford has a lot of older housing, including two- and three-family houses built long before central air was common. Many of them still run on steam or hot water boilers with cast iron radiators. That means service often starts in the basement, with water levels, vents, pumps, and zone valves. When the top floor gets hot in July, a ductless unit is often easier than trying to add ducts.
What we fix most in Hartford
Steam and hot water boiler repair
Many Hartford houses still run on cast iron radiators fed by an older boiler. We trace cold radiators, banging pipes, and low water problems back to the cause.
Heat for rental units
A two- or three-family house often has a separate system on each floor. We can check them together and keep a short note on every unit.
Cooling without ducts
Top floors in older Hartford buildings bake in summer. A ductless unit cools them without tearing into plaster.

Hartford questions
Do you work on steam boilers in Hartford?
Steam heat is common in older Hartford houses, and we repair vents, water level controls, and the boiler itself. You get a price before we start.
Can you service every unit in my Hartford two-family?
If each floor has its own boiler or furnace, we can look at all of them in one visit. We will tell you what we found on each unit.
What can I do about hot upper floors in an old Hartford house?
Ductless mini splits are a common fix because they need no ducts. A small line set goes through the wall, and the plaster stays mostly untouched.
