Montrose's walkable Honolulu Avenue shopping district and charming Sparr Heights homes make it one of the most desirable Foothill communities. The housing stock is predominantly 1930s–1950s construction with plaster walls, small closets, and original heating systems that need careful modernization.

Common HVAC Issues in Montrose
- Plaster-and-lath walls in 1930s–1940s homes that crack easily during ductwork installation if not handled by experienced crews
- Original floor furnaces still in use in Sparr Heights homes — inefficient, potentially hazardous, and unable to support central AC
- Limited attic space in low-pitch-roof cottages that constrains air handler and ductwork placement
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you add central air to a 1930s Montrose home without destroying the walls?
This is our specialty in the Montrose area. We route compact high-velocity ductwork through existing closets, soffits, and the attic space above the hallway — avoiding any cuts to original plaster walls. For homes where even that is impractical, we use ductless mini-splits with the indoor heads mounted high on walls where the slim profile blends with the room's character.
How much does it cost to replace a floor furnace in Montrose?
A floor furnace replacement with a modern forced-air system — including new ductwork — typically runs $12,000–$18,000 for a Montrose home depending on size and layout complexity. That includes removing the old unit, sealing the floor, installing a 96% AFUE furnace in the attic or a closet, and running supply-and-return ducts. We also add AC at the same time for about $4,000–$6,000 more.
Do you service commercial HVAC on Honolulu Avenue in Montrose?
Yes — we maintain heating and cooling systems for several Montrose Shopping Park businesses along Honolulu Avenue. The mixed retail and restaurant spaces there have unique ventilation needs, especially for restaurants that require hood make-up air. We handle both rooftop package units and through-wall systems common in the older commercial buildings.
