Franklin's location in the Wallkill River valley creates unique summer conditions with high humidity and temperatures that can feel oppressive. Our air conditioning installation services address these specific challenges. We install Armstrong air conditioning systems properly sized for Franklin homes, considering factors like the valley's humidity retention and older homes' insulation challenges.
Many Franklin homes, particularly in the historic district, lack modern insulation and air sealing. This creates significant cooling challenges that require careful system design.
