Heat Pump Installation in Charlottesville: what's different
Heat Pump Installation in Charlottesville is shaped by local conditions. Oil heat: Some older homes still burn oil and are switching to heat pumps.
Older homes often have basements or crawl spaces with gas furnaces, oil boilers or heat pumps, and many student rentals have aging equipment. Heat pumps are common in newer homes in surrounding Albemarle County. Belmont and Fry's Spring have 1920s to 1950s bungalows with small ducts or radiators, while Pantops and Barracks Road areas have newer homes and apartments with heat pumps.
