HVAC in Bristol
Radiators fed by a boiler are typical of the older borough stock, and many were converted from coal to oil and then to gas over the years; the piping usually outlived every burner. Post-war township houses are more often forced air. Both are at the age where the equipment is well past its design life, and where adding cooling to a radiator house means ductless rather than conventional ducts. Where a boiler was converted twice over, the near-boiler piping is usually three eras of work stacked in one corner, and half of a repair is establishing which loop still serves what.
The houses in Bristol
Bristol Borough is one of the oldest towns in Pennsylvania, and the housing shows the whole range: eighteenth- and nineteenth-century houses in the historic district near the river, rows and twins from the mill era, and post-war ranchers and Capes in the township that surrounds it. Two houses on one block can be a century apart. The older ones have stone or brick foundations, plaster walls, and whatever plumbing and wiring each owner added over the decades — layered rather than replaced.
