Stone houses behave differently, and most contractors treat them like they do not

Hope was laid out by Moravian settlers in 1769 and is one of the earliest planned communities in the country. The village core is still the stone buildings they put up, and stone is not a detail. It changes how the building holds temperature.

Thick stone walls store an enormous amount of heat. They warm slowly and they cool slowly. A stone house takes far longer to come up to temperature in the morning than a timber framed one, and it holds that temperature far longer once it gets there. Set back the thermostat ten degrees overnight in a stone house and you can spend more energy recovering in the morning than you saved.

There is nowhere to hide ductwork. Solid stone walls have no cavity. Retrofitting ducts through a building like this means losing ceiling height or building chases through rooms, which is why ductless mini splits are usually the right answer here rather than a compromise one.

Insulation is a different problem too. You cannot blow insulation into a wall that has no cavity, so the useful work is at the roof and the windows.

None of that means a stone house is hard to keep comfortable. It means the approach that works on a 1990s colonial does not transfer, and setting the controls up correctly matters more than the size of the equipment.

What we handle here

Mini splits, boilers and radiators, thermostat setup that suits a slow responding building, furnaces, heat pumps, air conditioning, indoor air quality and emergency service.

Fees, licence and plans

The $85 diagnostic and $195 after hours dispatch are the same everywhere we work, both waived on the relevant service plans. Plumbing Pros holds NJ Master HVACR Contractor License 19HC00938000. You get the repair price after the diagnosis and before work starts, and financing runs through Wisetack.

Common questions

Should I set my thermostat back at night in an old stone house?

Less than you would in a modern one. Deep setbacks work against you in a building with that much thermal mass. We will set it up with you rather than leaving you to guess.

Can I get central air without ripping the house apart?

Yes. Mini splits need a three inch hole rather than a duct run, which is why they suit these buildings so well.
