Most homes have gas forced-air furnaces or wall heaters and no central AC. Many older homes are being remodeled with heat pumps. Baywood and San Mateo Park homes from the 1920s and 1930s often have floor furnaces or gravity-era ducts, while Shoreview and Beresford have 1950s ranch homes with forced-air systems in crawl spaces. New apartments near downtown and the Hillsdale station are often all-electric with heat pumps. For duct Repair & Sealing, that means the contractor should start with inspect and test and confirm what is actually installed before quoting.
