Plymouth Home Types & Furnace Considerations
- New construction (post-2000): Typically 2,400–3,600 sq ft, often need 80,000–100,000 BTU units
- Townhomes/condos: Smaller footprint — 60,000–80,000 BTU usually sufficient
- Older Plymouth homes (1970s–1990s): May have oversized original equipment — right-sizing saves money
