119 blocks of historic homes

Historic Springfield covers 119 city blocks in slightly less than one square mile just north of downtown. Annexed by Jacksonville in 1887, it boomed after the Great Fire of 1901, holds more than 2,000 homes and joined the National Register in 1987. The district is mostly wood-frame houses, and it was once home to Henry John Klutho, the city's leading Prairie School architect. Many of those houses are mid-restoration, and HVAC has to fit around original trim, plaster and porches.

Systems that suit a restoration

Restorations bring their own timing: walls open, rooms rewired, floors refinished. If you're mid-project, that's the best moment to plan duct routes or line sets, and we work around the other trades rather than after them. In finished homes, ductless heads and small-duct systems cool rooms without reopening walls.

Many older wood-frame houses sit over crawl spaces, where ducts sag, disconnect or sweat. Repairing and sealing those runs, adding insulation above and choosing a heat pump sized for the house often turns a drafty, uneven home into a comfortable one.
