Heating and cooling repair and installation across Gloucester County

Home county: split-levels, colonials and long humid summers

Gloucester County is where we are based, so these are the houses our techs walk into most. The older river towns have Cape Cods, twins and small singles from before the suburbs spread out. Deptford and Washington Township filled in with split-levels, ranches and two-story colonials, nearly all on gas forced air with central AC. Further south and east, newer developments use high-efficiency furnaces, heat pumps and, in many two-story homes, a second air handler in the attic that serves the upstairs on its own.

Because we start in West Deptford, most Gloucester County calls are short drives on local roads, not bridge crossings. The same base keeps Philadelphia close. The Walt Whitman Bridge, one of the Delaware River Port Authority's bridges, comes down in South Philadelphia, which is why a day for us often mixes a split-level in Deptford with a rowhome across the river. Customers here get techs who see both kinds of house every week, and a phone that is answered at any hour.

Summer is the hard season in this county. Long humid stretches keep air conditioners running for hours, so we see capacitors fail, contactors pit, condensate lines clog with algae and attic air handlers overflow into the ceilings below. Leaky or undersized attic ductwork keeps upstairs bedrooms hot no matter where the thermostat is set. In winter, high-efficiency furnaces lock out on blocked PVC vents and dirty flame sensors. We fix the failure, then point out the cause so it does not come back next season.
