Boston's climate is uniquely challenging for HVAC systems. With October through April — 6+ months of continuous heating, your furnace runs almost continuously for half the year. Hot and humid, 80-90°F with high humidity promoting mold — creating ideal conditions for mold growth inside your ductwork.
The city's diverse housing stock adds complexity. Boston's iconic 3-family homes, built 1870-1920. Shared duct systems, aging infrastructure, common in Dorchester, South Boston, Brighton. Meanwhile, Elegant row houses from 1850-1900. Found in Back Bay, Beacon Hill, South End. Original ductwork often 100+ years old.
Homes near I-90 (Mass Pike) and I-93 face additional particulate exposure from traffic. Properties near Boston Harbor deal with salt air and moisture. And during April through June — heavy tree and grass pollen, the Arnold Arboretum sends massive amounts of pollen into nearby homes.
