Prospect Park and other nearby tree-lined streets are known for their iconic brownstones, but just because you own one of Park Slope’s historic buildings, it does not mean that you must continue to suffer old and inefficient plumbing, heating and cooling systems. While it is tempting to put off construction until spring, the cold winter months can be the perfect time for interior updates, repairs and renovating your Park Slope plumbing.
One of the greatest fears of those who own an older structure is the belief that updating the existing fixtures, hardware or appliances means that any changes that are made will automatically detract from the vintage appearance and appeal that is created by leaving the existing systems in place.
Here at Aladdin Plumbing, we have extensive experience in renovating older Park Slope plumbing and have the technical skills and knowledge necessary to help owners update their heating and cooling. We specialize in designing systems that feature new fixtures, appliances, and hardware that preserve the timeless, old-fashioned charm of the original system while providing successful ENERGY STAR and LEED compliant green energy appliances, hardware, design, and installation services.
Our expertise in the areas of renovation and green energy is so well-known that Aladdin Plumbing was the company that was chosen to help the experts on the popular remodeling series This Old House renovate a Brooklyn brownstone in historic Prospect Park. This renovation was the first the show has ever done in New York City, and our licensed master plumbers, Randy and Erik Gitli, provided the show with on-camera assistance with resolving the brownstone’s unique heating, cooling and plumbing challenges.
If you have been worrying about how to go about updating your historic structure while also preserving its character, you will be relieved to learn that there are now several new fixtures and hardware choices. These fixtures replicate the appearance of those endearing, heirloom period pieces while also giving owners the benefits of energy and water saving features. This includes budget and environmentally friendly options such as low-flow design and smart automation. These new green designs mean that you no longer have to continue to suffer from slow drains, leaky or noisy pipes to preserve the character of your building.
Don’t let these winter months go to waste. Use them as an opportunity to update your Park Slope plumbing, heating, and cooling systems to one that continues to retain its timeless vintage appeal while helping you to save your money and help you protect the environment. Contact Aladdin Plumbing and go green in 2016.
