Heating and cooling in Frankfort homes
Frankfort's homes are split almost evenly between natural gas heat (about 49%) and electric heat (about 49%), and the median home was built in 1972. In a house that age, the furnace or heat pump has usually been replaced at some point, but the ductwork and thermostat wiring may be original, so we check that the pieces actually work together.
