/* Plumsteadville HVAC Pros
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Palette is a furnace room rather than a contractor-blue template: cast-iron
   slate, sheet-metal primer, burner-flame ember, and a steel blue for the
   cooling side. Ember and steel are load-bearing - they mark heating versus
   cooling consistently across the site, so colour carries information.

   Type pairs Archivo (industrial signage, equipment nameplates) with Source
   Serif 4 for body. The serif is deliberate: twelve long service and blog
   pages need comfortable reading, and it reads owner-run rather than startup.
