Galveston housing and HVAC
Many historic homes are raised and have ductwork in crawl spaces or attics, while West End beach houses sit on pilings with equipment on platforms. Salt air reaches every part of the island. Many island homes have equipment on rooftops or tall stands to stay above flood level.
Galveston has hot, humid summers, mild winters and constant salt air. Hurricanes and storm surge are the biggest threats. Summer highs reach the low 90s with steady Gulf humidity, and winter brings mild days with occasional cold fronts.
