The historic district around Churton Street has houses from the 1700s and 1800s, and many were never built with room for ducts. Owners there often use ductless mini-splits, which need only a small hole through the wall for the refrigerant lines. Historic district rules can limit where an outdoor unit sits, so ask the technician whether the town's Historic District Commission needs to approve exterior work first.
Outside the town limits, a lot of homes run on well water and propane, and some heat with a propane furnace or a heat pump with propane backup. Our technicians in the area handle both.
