Solar & Heat Pump Installation in Wethersfield, Hartford County and All Communities

Wethersfield is one of Connecticut's oldest towns, and Old Wethersfield is one of the largest historic districts in the state. Homes there are subject to design review that does not apply anywhere else in our service area at the same scale.

Outside the historic district, Wethersfield is mostly mid-century: capes, ranches, and split-levels along Wolcott Hill, Highcrest, and the Silas Deane Highway corridor. Those homes take standard solar and heat pump work with no design review at all.

Because the difference between the two is a property line, the first thing we establish on any Wethersfield project is whether the address falls inside the historic district boundary.

What Makes Wethersfield Projects Different

• Old Wethersfield is a designated historic district, and exterior changes to properties inside it go before the town's historic district commission before a building permit is issued.
• Broad Street and the Old Wethersfield core contain some of the oldest surviving houses in Connecticut, where panel visibility from the street is the deciding design factor.
• Wethersfield's Building Department handles permits for the mid-century neighborhoods on Wolcott Hill and Highcrest with no historic review required.
• The Silas Deane Highway corridor mixes residential and commercial parcels, so service capacity and roof ownership have to be confirmed before a solar design on properties along it.
