HOLLAND, Mich. — Historic buildings can be a niche market for many contractors, but the applications can present a variety of challenges. Often the biggest thing to overcome is the structure itself. The older the structure, the more difficult it can be to equip the space with all the modern accoutrements of heating and cooling.
Buildings constructed during the turn of the century were not built with large mechanical HVAC systems in mind. But today, with many older buildings undergoing renovations to become either museums or vacation getaways, cooling is now essential.
