Springfield grew fast in the 1950s and 1960s, and the original neighborhoods are full of brick ramblers and split-levels from that era. Most are on replacement equipment by now, sometimes sized by rule of thumb rather than a load calculation.
Kingstowne and much of Franconia were built from the late 1980s into the early 2000s. Three-level townhomes stack heat: the top floor runs hot, the basement runs cold, and a single system with one thermostat has trouble keeping up. Many of those original systems are reaching replacement age now.
Common jobs in Springfield
- Townhome replacements sized for three levels
- Zoning and return-air fixes for hot top floors
- Split-level balancing
- Heat pump and furnace replacements

Springfield questions
Asked in Springfield.
Why is the top floor of my Kingstowne townhome always hot?
Heat rises through three stories, the top floor sits under the roof, and returns in many townhomes are small or in the wrong place. Before blaming the equipment, we check airflow and returns. Fixes range from duct and return changes to zoning or a second system.
My Springfield system is 20 years old. Repair or replace?
Age alone doesn’t decide it. We look at the condition, repair history, how well it’s performing and what the repair would cost. If a repair makes sense we’ll say so; if replacement does, you get a written quote and can ask for our free second opinion on anyone else’s.
Do you cover West Springfield and Newington?
Yes, along with Kingstowne, Franconia and the rest of the Springfield area. Call with your ZIP and we’ll confirm the earliest appointment window.
Integrity installed a top of the line HVAC in our home and they were highly efficient, knowledgeable, and professional . They were fair priced and provided everything we were hoping for. . Each teck was kind, and professional and we could not be more satisfied. We highly recommend their services without hesitation !
This business and their personnel who I interacted with for my HVAC system replacement really lived up to their company’s name: Integrity. They were Roberto, Isaac, Kristhiam, Oscar and Arnardo— all responsive, knowledgeable and very professional. They go out of their way to provide excellent customer service. Now I have a brand new HVAC system that’s up and running, hopefully for a very long time. Thanks, Integrity!
Isaac and his partner were awesome. They came on time. Were polite and courteous. Explained each step.they were taking to.fix the problem. They explained with integrity. They were my second opinion to a large reputable company who said that they couldn't fix my AC and immediately wanted to sell me a whole HVAC system. No sales job with Isaac. Just suggestions without any nudging. Integrity Duct and HVAC Services is my go to company. I tried the other company because Integrity was booked and was hot. In the end, we decided to deal with the heat the old fashioned way, fans, until Integrity came. They were worth the wait.
