HVAC Repair in Powelton Village, Philadelphia

Powelton Village's grand Victorian twins and porch-front houses are a big part of why people love living here, and a big part of why heating and cooling them is genuinely hard. High ceilings, three full stories, original radiators in some rooms and window units limping along in others: these houses were built for a different century, and their comfort systems show it.

Old Victorians Play by Their Own Rules

PJ MAC HVAC Service & Repair has spent over 32 years working on Philadelphia housing of every era, and Powelton Village homes are a specialty case we know well. Owner Doug is a Master HVAC Technician, the company is family owned and operated, and we carry PA License #PA157168. Whether your house runs on a boiler and radiators, a retrofitted forced-air system, or a patchwork of both, we repair it.

Boilers, Radiators, and Retrofitted Ductwork

Many Powelton Village houses still heat with boilers, and we service gas and oil systems alike, along with the furnaces and heat pumps found in renovated properties. Where ductwork was retrofitted into old walls and floor cavities, airflow problems are common, and we diagnose those honestly instead of just swapping parts. On every furnace call we check the heat exchanger, because carbon monoxide risk from a cracked exchanger is not something an old-house owner should ever gamble on.

No Ducts? Mini-Splits Were Made for These Houses

Plenty of homes here have no ductwork at all, and ductless mini-splits are often the cleanest answer, bringing real air conditioning to a third-floor bedroom without tearing open plaster walls. We repair existing mini-splits and install new ones, with free installation estimates so you can weigh the option properly.
