Brent Hull examines how heating and cooling systems can be thoughtfully integrated into both historic homes and new construction without disrupting architectural integrity.

By addressing scale, placement, and proportion, the episode demonstrates how well-designed HVAC can remain virtually invisible while preserving the timeless character of a home.
