HVAC in Platt Park is the pop-top bungalow. This small south-Denver neighborhood — Mississippi Avenue north, Evans Avenue south, Broadway west, Downing Street east — is built on 1900–1925 bungalows and cottages, with 1920s–30s Craftsman brick bungalows and Denver Squares at the core. A steady supply of those bungalows gained a popped-on second storey that the original single-storey furnace and ducts were never sized for. Lion Tech Home Services cools that second floor with ductless heads and zoning, because replacing the furnace alone will not fix a hot upstairs.

Just practical help.Platt Park is the pop-top bungalow neighborhood: 1900-1925 bungalows and cottages on small lots, with a steady supply of second-storey additions the original furnace and ducts were never sized for. Ductless leads the list for the popped floor, AC and furnace work covers the single-storey core, and ductwork and maintenance cover the systems that now serve two floors.
A second storey the original system never knew about is a sizing problem. Here is how we handle the three situations that come up most in Platt Park.
A 1920s bungalow with a second storey popped on top has a furnace and ducts sized for one floor. The upstairs bakes in July and the ground floor freezes when the thermostat tries to compensate.
How we help: We add a ductless head or a separate zone for the popped floor, so the upstairs gets its own cooling instead of borrowing air the original system cannot deliver.
Listings note hardwired detached studios in Platt Park. A studio across the yard cannot run on the house system — it needs its own heating and cooling.
How we help: We plan a dedicated ductless system for the studio, sized to the small space and placed for the lineset run, rather than extending ducts the house does not have.
Blocks closest to I-25 at the north end carry highway noise. Outdoor-unit placement and sound matter here in a way they do not on a quiet interior street.
How we help: We place condensers with the noise question in mind — away from bedrooms where the layout allows, with mounting and clearances that keep vibration out of the house.

In a Platt Park bungalow, watch for a second storey that stays hot while the ground floor is fine, a furnace short cycling as it tries to serve two floors, weak airflow upstairs, or a finished basement that never matches the rest of the house. The upstairs problem is the local sign.
Yes. The calls here are mostly about 1900-1925 bungalows and cottages, 1920s-30s Craftsman brick bungalows and Denver Squares, many with a second storey popped on top, plus newer duplexes and townhomes along the Broadway corridor. The pop-top is the house type that defines the calls.
Usually no. A new furnace alone does not fix a hot upstairs, because the original single-storey system was never sized for a second floor and the ductwork was never run to reach it. The fix is a ductless head or a separate zone upstairs, with the furnace replaced on its own merits when its time comes.
