On "Rural Raised Ranch Gets Broad HVAC/Hydronic Retrofit"

A hydronic retrofit on a rural raised ranch sounds like it cost real money for a very specific customer. The pitch matters here: if this is a deep-energy retrofit with load calcs and proper zoning, fine—that's legitimate work and a model to pitch to owners stuck with baseboard or blown heat. But if it's just "we replaced the furnace with a boiler and some baseboard," that's a harder sell in the country where oil's cheap, propane's available, and service calls mean driving forty minutes. Know which story you're selling before you spec the system.
