Short answer

We cover Philadelphia, PA, with most of our pages focused on the South and Southwest Philadelphia neighborhoods closest to the Walt Whitman Bridge, plus Delaware and Montgomery counties in Pennsylvania and Gloucester, Camden and Burlington counties in New Jersey. The phone is answered 24 hours a day.

South and Southwest Philadelphia

The Walt Whitman Bridge comes down in South Philadelphia, which makes the rowhome blocks from Queen Village and Pennsport down to Packer Park the shortest trip from our base. West of Broad, Point Breeze and Grays Ferry run into Southwest Philadelphia, where Kingsessing, Cobbs Creek, Elmwood and Eastwick sit between the Schuylkill and the city line.

The work across these neighborhoods looks alike in some ways and very different in others. Older rowhomes run on steam, hot water or a basement furnace, top floors overheat in summer, and condensers often sit on flat roofs. Girard Estate is a designated historic district, so exterior equipment there gets a little more planning.

Pennsylvania suburbs west of the city

Past the city line, Delaware County and Montgomery County bring a different mix of houses: twins and singles with basements, split-levels, and older stone homes with radiators. Upper Darby, Haverford and Chester are the towns we hear from most on this side.

Many of these homes have ductwork that was added well after they were built, so duct fixes and zoning come up as often as equipment repairs.

South Jersey around our West Deptford base

West Deptford is in Gloucester County, a few minutes from Woodbury, Deptford and Washington Township. Gloucester City's waterfront sits by the Walt Whitman Bridge, and Camden, Pennsauken, Cherry Hill and Voorhees fill out the Camden County side, with Burlington County to the northeast.

Housing here runs newer on average than in the city, so forced-air furnaces, central air and heat pumps lead the call list, along with water heaters and dryer vents.

Where our coverage ends

We take calls from anywhere in Philadelphia, but our pages focus on the south and southwest neighborhoods closest to the bridge. Farther out, such as Bucks County, northern Montgomery County, or the shore towns in Atlantic and Cape May counties, call and ask. We will tell you straight whether we can get to you in a reasonable time.
