Columbus has a large stock of mid-century ranches and two-story homes from the 1950s to the 1970s, typically with basement or utility-room gas furnaces and central AC. Historic German Village and Victorian Village brick homes often have boilers or limited ductwork, and owners add mini-splits for cooling. Suburban homes are newer and frequently have two-stage or variable-speed equipment.
