Homes in Park City: what we see

Park City sits at about 7,000 feet. Old Town has mining-era homes from the late 1800s, surrounded by resort condos, ski homes and newer neighborhoods, many of them second homes that sit empty for stretches of the winter.

Vacant homes in hard freezes are the big risk here, along with heavy snow on vents and outdoor units. Boilers and radiant heat are common, and gas equipment has to be set up for altitude.

Summit County climate and water

Summit County is mountain country, with communities sitting from roughly 5,500 to over 7,000 feet. The heating season is long, snow is heavy, and overnight lows drop well below what the Wasatch Front sees. Summers are short and mild, though more homeowners are adding cooling. Gas appliances produce less heat at altitude and have to be set up for it.

Water hardness varies across Summit County’s many small water systems. If you see scale on fixtures or in a tankless unit, we can test your water and size treatment to match. More in our guide: how hard is Utah water.

Permits in Park City

Water heater, furnace, air conditioner, gas line and sewer work in Park City generally requires a permit from the Park City Building Department (homes in Snyderville Basin and Kimball Junction go through Summit County instead). We pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of the job.
