Common Problems in Dunning Homes
The usual calls in Dunning’s post-war homes.
Ask a pro↗
Ranch with uneven rooms
Long single-story duct runs lose air before the far rooms. Balancing and sealing the basement ductwork helps.
Furnace oversized after insulation upgrades
Homes that added insulation or new windows need less heat. An old furnace sized for the original house may short cycle.
Before you replace anything
Replacing Equipment in a Dunning Home
Ask for a load calculation instead of matching the old furnace size. Post-war homes have often been improved since the original equipment was chosen.
In Cape Cods, plan the upstairs separately. A ductless system there often solves the comfort problem the main system never could.

Heat rises, the roof gains heat and the upstairs often has only a couple of small vents. A ductless head upstairs is the most common fix.
If the AC is due for replacement, a dual-fuel heat pump costs a little more and can heat the house in milder weather, with the furnace as backup.
