FAQ
I live in a pre-war Forest Hills co-op or Tudor home with steam radiators and no ductwork. Can I install a multi-zone ductless mini-split air conditioner, and what approvals do I need?
Yes, ductless mini-split heat pumps are the most effective solution because they do not require opening up plaster walls for ductwork. However, for co-op apartments, you must submit a formal Alteration Agreement to your board before starting work, including dedicated electrical circuits and approved exterior wall penetrations. For homes in Forest Hills Gardens, you must submit an Application for Approval of Exterior Work to the FHGC Architecture Committee prior to installation to ensure condensers are ground-level with proper landscaping screening.
