This is an older waterfront home that was completely gutted and rebuilt to exacting standards. The HVAC systems are completely new, using a state-of-the-art gas fired condensing boiler supplying hot water to six hydro-air heating and cooling fan coils located in the basement and attic areas. Nortec steam humidifiers, high efficiency media filters, acoustically isolated equipment, flush wood floor grilles and many other details produced a quiet, very energy efficient, modern, top of the line HVAC system for this vacation home.

The challenge on this project was to integrate a modern comfortable system into an older home, while not compromising any of the architectural integrity or beautiful landscaping around the home.
