Local homes
New Bedford housing and HVAC
Most homes heat with gas or oil boilers and radiators, and multi-family homes often have separate systems per unit. Central AC is uncommon, and ductless heat pumps are a popular upgrade. County Street mansions built by whaling merchants have tall ceilings and large radiator systems, while the Far North has post-war single-family homes with forced-air furnaces.
New Bedford has cold, damp winters with nor'easters and mild summers cooled by the bay. Hurricanes are a risk, protected in part by the hurricane barrier. Winter lows regularly fall into the teens with raw, damp wind off the bay, and summer highs reach the low 80s. The hurricane barrier protects the inner harbor from storm surge.
