SAN FRANCISCO — Atlas Heating and Ventilation has found the oldest working Atlas heater in the Bay Area.
Kevin and Bridget Hiler of San Francisco’s Richmond District are the proud owners of an Atlas furnace that has been keeping their house warm since 1917 — as confirmed by the San Francisco’s Assessor’s Office, said Atlas. The furnace was originally for coal-burning and was converted to gas. It will be replaced with a Trane heating system. Meanwhile, the original furnace will be placed in the soon-to-be-built Atlas Warm Air Museum.
