Durham housing and HVAC
Older homes often sit on crawl spaces with ducts below, and heat pumps are the most common system. Many newer townhomes and apartments also use heat pumps, while some older homes have gas furnaces.
Durham has hot, humid summers and mild winters with occasional ice and snow. Spring pollen and summer humidity are major comfort concerns.
Permits and seasonal timing in Durham
The City-County of Durham Inspections Department issues mechanical permits. Duke Energy offers efficiency programs for qualifying upgrades.
Humidity and mold
Humid summers and damp crawl spaces make correct sizing and duct sealing important to avoid mold.
Mill houses
Small historic mill houses in Old West Durham and Edgemont have little attic or crawl space room, so ductless systems or carefully planned short duct runs work best.
Fast growth
New homes and townhomes in South Durham may have builder-grade systems and unbalanced ducts that need adjustments in the first few years.
