Heat loss for each zone
From the drawings, we work out how much heat each floor or zone needs. That sets the size of each furnace or boiler.

The Homes Here
Mineola bungalows, and what heats them.
Mineola was farmland until the 1930s. Most of it was built from the 1940s to the 1960s. The classic Mineola home is a ranch bungalow on a large, treed lot. Many of those bungalows are now being replaced with large custom homes.
Three kinds of Mineola home
- Original bungalows. One floor and a basement, often with the first duct or pipe layout still in place
- Renovated bungalows. Finished basements, opened up main floors, and sometimes a second storey on top
- New custom homes. Big, tight and high efficiency, usually with more than one system
Some older homes here still heat with a hot water boiler and radiators. Others switched to a furnace long ago. That is the first thing we ask when you call.
Boilers
Mineola boiler repair, or a new boiler?
A boiler that has heated a Mineola home for decades can often still be repaired. When it cannot, the radiators can usually stay.
Signs it is time to talk about a new one
- It needs a repair every winter
- Parts for it are getting hard to find
- Some radiators never get hot, even after bleeding
- There is water on the floor around it
Your choices
- A new heat-only boiler that uses your radiators
- A combi boiler, which heats the home and makes hot water, so the tank goes
- Ducts and a furnace, if a big renovation opens the walls anyway. That also gives you central air
See boiler repair and boiler installation. Boilers are quoted after we see the pipes, because no two old systems are the same.
| If the boiler is | We usually suggest |
|---|---|
| Working, but needs one part | Repair it |
| Repaired every winter | Price both, then decide |
| Leaking from the boiler itself | Replace it |
| In a home being gutted | Talk to us before the walls close |
Renovated Bungalows
When the bungalow changed and the ducts did not.
Mid-century bungalows had ducts sized for one floor and an unfinished basement. Renovations change the house, but the ducts often stay the same.
- A finished basement adds bedrooms the old ducts barely reach
- An open main floor moves the walls, but the vents stay where the old rooms were
- A second storey needs heat and cooling the old trunk cannot carry
The fix may be new branch runs, a bigger return, or a second system upstairs. For one problem room, a ductless unit also works. See ductwork service.
Damp finished basements
Big trees shade many Mineola lots. Basements under them can feel damp and stuffy in summer. Start here:
- Check the humidity with a cheap meter. Our guide on indoor humidity levels gives the target
- An AC that is too big cools fast and shuts off before it pulls much water out of the air. Sizing matters
- A whole-home dehumidifier often does the rest, and we install those too. We tell you if the heating and cooling side is part of the problem

Building New
Tearing down and building in Mineola? Bring us in early.
Many Mineola lots now have a custom home going up. We work with your builder, architect or designer on the heating plan and the gas lines. This is the order we work in.
Choose the systems
Most large new homes need two systems or zoning. Some add in-floor heat in the basement or the main bathrooms.
Add up the gas
Furnaces, water heaters, range, fireplaces, BBQ, maybe a pool heater. We total them so the line and meter are right from the start.
Plan the hot water
Several bathrooms need a large tankless unit, two units, or a combi boiler. We size it for the showers that run at once.
Rough-in, then finish
Ducts and gas pipe go in before drywall. Equipment goes in once the house is closed in. Every gas line is tested before any appliance runs.

FAQ
Mineola HVAC FAQs.
Do you work in Mineola and Mineola West?
Yes, plus Gordon Woods and the Lakeview edge. We fix and install boilers, furnaces, AC and water heaters, and our own licensed gas fitter runs gas lines. Call (647) 280-6626 any time.
My Mineola bungalow has a boiler. Can you replace it?
Yes. We check the pipes and radiators first. In most homes the radiators can stay. A combi boiler can also take over your hot water. See boiler installation.
Can I switch from a boiler to a furnace in my Mineola home?
Yes, but it means adding ducts. That is easiest during a big renovation when walls and ceilings are open. It also lets you add central air. We will price both ways.
Will you work with our builder on a new home in Mineola?
Yes. We work from the drawings with your builder, architect or designer. We plan the systems, the ducts and the gas lines, then rough them in before drywall.
Why is the basement in our renovated Mineola bungalow cold?
The original ducts were sized for an unfinished basement. Finished rooms down there often have one small vent and no return. A new run or a return usually fixes it.
Why does our Mineola basement feel damp in summer?
Shade from big trees and cool basement walls both play a part. An oversized AC can make it worse. Check the humidity first, then call us to look at the AC sizing.
How big a furnace does a new custom home in Mineola need?
It depends on the size, windows and insulation, so we do a heat loss calculation from the drawings. Large homes often need two furnaces or a zoned system, not one huge unit.
Do you work on homes in Lakeview Village?
Lakeview Village will use a shared district energy system, so homes there will not have their own furnace. We do work on the older Lakeview houses nearby, which still have furnaces and boilers.
