Heating & Cooling services in Highland Park
Highland Park boomed after Ford opened its Highland Park Plant in 1910, and the city kept many of the large homes built for managers and skilled workers in that era. In historic districts like Highland Heights and the Medbury's and Grove Lawn subdivisions, two and a half story brick and frame houses were built with steam or hot water boilers and cast iron radiators, and many still run on them. These systems can last a very long time if the boiler is kept tuned and the radiators are balanced. Problems usually come from neglect: leaking valves, failed circulator pumps and air in the lines. Houses that sat empty for a while may have frozen and split pipes. Adding central air to a radiator house is hard without ducts, so ductless mini-splits are a common choice for cooling here.
