Boiler & Radiant Heat in Baltimore: what's different
Boiler & Radiant Heat in Baltimore is shaped by local conditions. Older systems: Many homes have aging furnaces and boilers.
Rowhouses often use gas furnaces or boilers, with mini-splits or window units for cooling. Roof-mounted condensers are common on rowhouses. Baltimore rowhouses typically have a furnace or boiler in the basement and a condenser on the roof, with ducts running through closets or chases.
