Older Homes in the Dog River Valley
Northfield is home to Norwich University, the oldest private military college in the country, and to about 5,900 residents (2020 Census). It's also home to some of the oldest housing in Central Vermont. The town's housing task force found that nearly 39% of Northfield homes were built before 1939. Many are in the village around the Common, and others line Route 12 in Northfield Falls, home of the town's well-known covered bridges on Cox Brook Road.
Older Northfield homes often have:
- Oil-fired boilers with radiators or baseboard and no ductwork
- Uneven heat, with cold upstairs bedrooms and warm first floors
- No central air, which matters more every summer in the valley
Ductless mini-splits are a natural fit. They add efficient, zoned heating and cooling without ductwork, and the existing boiler can stay as backup. We also tune and repair those boilers. See boiler service.
Rentals and Student Housing Near Norwich
A lot of Northfield's housing near the village is rented, much of it to Norwich students, faculty and staff. For landlords, separate mini-split zones give tenants their own heat and AC controls. Yearly maintenance also keeps systems clean and efficient between tenants and helps prevent mid-semester breakdowns. We work with landlords and multi-unit buildings and can schedule yearly service around your tenants.
Basements and the Dog River
In July 2023 the Dog River flooded basements in Northfield, especially around Water Street. The new Dog River Park helped hold back water and kept many homes from first-floor damage. Even so, basement boilers, furnaces and oil tanks took a hit. If yours was under water, have it inspected before you rely on it. When you replace it, wall-mounted heat pumps can move part of your heating out of harm's way.
