Waterbury housing and HVAC
Most homes heat with oil or gas boilers and radiators, and multi-family homes have separate systems per unit. Central AC is uncommon in older homes. Overlook Victorians have large rooms and tall ceilings, while Town Plot and Bunker Hill have 1940s to 1960s capes and ranches, some with forced-air furnaces and central AC.
Waterbury has cold, snowy winters and warm, humid summers. Hilly terrain and the Naugatuck River valley create varied conditions. Winter lows regularly fall into the teens with several snowstorms a year, and summer highs reach the mid-80s with humidity. Heavy rain has flooded low areas along the Naugatuck.
