City Park
The 330-acre park, established in 1880, is the neighborhood's defining amenity and its cooling influence, with evening breezes off the lakes and deep shade.
City Park's bungalows are doubling in size, and the original furnace cannot serve the new floor. We work the late-1890s and early-1900s Denver Squares and brick bungalows around the 330-acre park, where pop-tops and full renovations are changing the load on every block. Call (720) 806-7634 and tell us what your system is doing.

Just practical help.City Park's late-1890s and early-1900s Denver Squares and bungalows are being popped up and renovated faster than anywhere in the city. A house that doubled in volume needs a new system design, and heat pumps are the retrofit path turning up most often on these blocks.
The pop-top bungalow next to the zoo is the pattern here. These are the three decisions we make most.
A 1910 brick bungalow with a pop-top is twice the house it was, and the original furnace and ducts cannot serve the new floor. Guessing from the old equipment guarantees a mismatch.
How we help: We run a fresh room-by-room load calculation for the renovated house, and we check whether the original system can still serve the ground floor properly.
Heat-pump retrofits are happening across this housing type, with a 2026 listing showing a new heat pump, furnace and AC in a 1904 Denver Square next door in City Park West.
How we help: We talk through heat pumps as a replacement path when a furnace and AC are both aging out, and we size for Denver's altitude and winter temperatures.
Pre-war bungalows and Denver Squares typically have full basements, often finished, and radon mitigation is increasingly part of the conversation in this stock.
How we help: We remind homeowners to pair HVAC work with radon testing where a basement bedroom or finished basement is involved, and we check ductwork that runs through the basement.
The new second story never cools down
Furnace runs constantly after a renovation
AC cools the ground floor and never reaches the pop-top
A musty smell from a finished basement
Rooms added by a renovation never get enough airflow
City Park is the neighborhood around the 330-acre park, and the park is the landmark. We use the zoo, the museum and the lakes as orientation points, and the bungalow blocks as the work.

The Denver Zoo anchors the park's north side and is our reference point for calls on the neighborhood's northern blocks.
The museum, opened in 1908, sits in the park and is the landmark we use to orient on the eastern blocks.
East High School at 1600 City Park Esplanade is a 1924 building and an individual Denver Historic Landmark, marking the neighborhood's southern edge.
These are the blocks and corridors we serve most often in City Park. Nearby areas may also qualify—call if you do not see yours.

Call (720) 806-7634 →The original furnace and ducts were designed for a one-story bungalow, and the new floor has no ductwork of its own. It overheats while the ground floor stays comfortable, and a wall head on the new floor is usually the fix.
Heat-pump retrofits are happening across this housing type, including a 2026 example next door in City Park West, where a 1904 Denver Square got a new heat pump and furnace. Sizing is done for the house as it stands now, and for Denver's altitude and winter temperatures.
It is worth considering. Pre-war basements here are often finished, and radon mitigation is increasingly part of the conversation in this stock. Ask about it during a visit — the test and the HVAC work can be planned together.
The visit opens with the symptoms, then checks the ignition, blower, exchanger and venting in turn, with the findings explained before any work begins. In a pre-war bungalow, the flue's age and the basement's condition get a look as well.
