Delaware: the north anchor, a county seat with its own weather

Delaware is the Delaware County seat, standing on the Olentangy River at the metro's north edge: a real downtown along Sandusky Street, neighborhoods of 1800s and early-1900s homes behind it, and fast-growing subdivisions filling the ground between the old city and the Columbus line. It is the north anchor of the Cap City map, and most Delaware calls are seen the same day.

A county seat is not a suburb, and the work says so. The housing stock runs deeper here: homes that have carried coal, then oil, then gas heat across their lives, with the ductwork and chimneys of each era still in the walls. Conversions leave fingerprints, and a furnace room in old Delaware is a short history of American heating. Reading that history is part of the diagnosis: what the house was built around decides what the numbers mean.

The growth subdivisions run the other book entirely, new systems in new houses aging in clusters, heat pumps common, and the north-edge wind making January the honest month. Tell Eddie whether the house is old Delaware or new Delaware. The two towns share a name and a ZIP code and almost nothing mechanical.

Guidance for Delaware: in a converted house, ask what the current system inherited, ducts, flue, and all. Inherited geometry explains more strange readings than any single part failure.
