Start with conditions, not a product
Equipment condition, duct leakage, airflow, humidity control, insulation, electrical capacity, and room-by-room comfort all belong in the conversation.
Build a complete scope
- Existing conditions and likely cause
- Preparation and protection
- Materials, compatibility, and installation details
- Permits, testing, cleanup, and restoration
- Exclusions, warranty terms, and change-order process
Troy context
A system replacement in Troy usually falls into one of two eras: the 1960s-70s ranch subdivisions built after the city's 1955 incorporation, or the office and retail construction that followed the Somerset Mall's 1969 opening on Big Beaver Road. Each era comes with its own starting point for duct condition and equipment sizing.
