What Philadelphia Homeowners Say About Our Furnace Service

Mike Safley
Mike Safley 8 hours ago

Save your time and look elsewhere for reliable hvac services. I drove an hour each way to meet a representative of this company to get a quote for Air Conditioning installation. Their service person did not show up to the appointment despite having made and confirmed the appointment more than a week in advance. The company operators were not able to contact the rep, and no one ever called me back to explain the no-show or apologize, or attempt to make it right. Really disappointing customer service.

Great Experience with excellent technicians Jason and his assistant who explained everything and how to keep up with filter replacements every 2-3 months myself. They did annual care and made sure that it was efficient and each vent was correctly positioned and opened. Went above and beyond and did annual cleaning so that’s off my list! Will be recommending him and this women/veteran owned business to anyone who need help with their HVAC system.

Air Done Right installed my new HVAC system eight years ago & I used then this week for a minor repair. They responded to my call (during a heatwave!) and someone came out only two days later. Definitely happy and thank you for the great techs & customer service. Michelle H (East Mount Airy)

Signs You Need Furnace Repair Urgently in Philadelphia

When Philadelphia's winter temperatures drop below freezing and furnaces run for longer periods, existing ignition, airflow, electrical, blower, or combustion problems can become more noticeable and lead to sudden loss of heat. In older row homes and multi-story houses, furnace problems can also disrupt heat distribution between floors, leaving parts of the home inadequately heated when reliable indoor heat matters most. Contact Air Done Right promptly if your furnace shows any of these warning signs that require professional diagnosis:

Disassembled HVAC units sitting outside on pavement.

Furnace stops producing heat during cold Philadelphia weather

Cold or lukewarm air blows from heating vents

Airflow becomes weak or fails to reach multiple rooms

Why Philadelphia Winters Are Hard on Furnaces?

Philadelphia’s winter climate can place sustained demand on residential furnaces, particularly during January, when National Weather Service climate normals show an average high of 41.3°F and an average low of 26°F. Normal January conditions include about 23 nights at or below freezing, which means furnaces may cycle frequently or run for extended periods to replace heat lost from the property. That additional runtime can make existing problems with ignition components, blowers, filters, controls, airflow, or aging furnace parts more noticeable.

The property itself can add to the heating load. Older Philadelphia rowhomes and multi-story houses may have aging ductwork, air leaks, varying insulation levels, older windows, or uneven heat distribution between floors, requiring the furnace and air distribution system to work together effectively to maintain indoor temperatures.

Philadelphia conditions that can affect furnace operation include:

Furnace Repair FAQs

What Is Furnace Repair Service?

Furnace repair service is the professional diagnosis and correction of problems that prevent a heating system from operating safely or delivering adequate heat. A furnace technician can inspect ignition components, burners, controls, blower operation, airflow, electrical components, and applicable safety systems before repairing or replacing the component responsible for the fault.

A standard gas or electric furnace lasts between 15 and 20 years, but its actual lifespan depends on equipment type, installation quality, maintenance history, heating demand, operating hours, and previous repairs, not Philadelphia location alone. Extended winter runtime and repeated heating cycles in Philadelphia can make existing wear more noticeable, so furnace condition should carry more weight than age alone when deciding between furnace repair and replacement.

Air Done Right installs top-tier, industry-leading heating systems, focusing heavily on reliable, high-efficiency equipment from brands like Carrier and Bryant. Our team helps homeowners select the ideal unit capacity and efficiency rating to match their specific property layout.

You should schedule a professional furnace tune-up once every year in Philadelphia, ideally in the early autumn before freezing weather sets in. Regular annual service ensures peak efficiency, reduces the risk of mid-winter breakdowns, and maintains vital safety controls.

Yes, you generally require a Mechanical Permit when installing or replacing regulated heating equipment, gas lines, or venting systems in Philadelphia. Some furnace installations and replacements in one- or two-family homes qualify for the city’s EZ permit process, which does not require submitting detailed plans. Ordinary furnace repairs and maintenance generally do not require a Mechanical Permit. Philadelphia’s Department of Licenses and Inspections issues these permits and requires applicable inspections to ensure safety and compliance before closing out the project.

Many straightforward furnace repairs can be completed within about 1 to 2 hours, while complex repairs or jobs requiring ordered parts may take longer. Repair time depends on the diagnosed fault, equipment access, system type, whether the work is gas or electrical, and parts availability. Air Done Right identifies the problem first and explains whether the repair can be completed during the initial service visit or requires additional work.

A complete residential furnace replacement and installation generally takes between 4 and 8 hours for standard direct-swap projects in typical single-family homes or rowhouses. However, more complex furnace installations involving custom sheet metal transition fabrication, flue or venting modifications, gas line upgrades, or multi-stage zoning control panel integrations can extend the timeline to a full day or require a multi-phase schedule.

The correct furnace size depends on the home's heating load, not just square footage. Factors such as insulation, windows, air leakage, ductwork, ceiling height, property layout, and Philadelphia winter design conditions influence heating demand; ACCA's Manual J is the recognized residential load-calculation standard and applies to housing types such as detached homes, townhouses, multi-unit structures, and Philadelphia rowhomes.

Yes, an older furnace can remain usable if its condition, combustion system, heat exchanger, venting, controls, and safety components remain in good condition, but age alone cannot determine whether a furnace is safe. Recurring shutdowns, combustion concerns, suspected heat exchanger damage, abnormal odors, or carbon monoxide alarms warrant professional assessment rather than continued operation based solely on whether the furnace still produces heat.

Check that the thermostat is set to heating mode, verify the temperature setting, inspect the accessible air filter for severe restriction, and confirm that the furnace has electrical power without dismantling equipment or bypassing safety controls. Persistent cold air can be caused by ignition, burner, thermostat, blower, airflow, or control problems, so professional furnace diagnosis from Air Done Right is appropriate when basic checks do not resolve the issue.

If you smell gas near your furnace, leave the area immediately and call Philadelphia Gas Works at 215-235-1212 from a safe location. PGW instructs customers not to operate electrical devices, use flames, attempt to locate the leak, shut gas valves or appliances, or return to the area until PGW or another qualified utility representative says it is safe. Furnace repair should only be considered after the immediate gas-safety situation has been addressed.

A furnace that repeatedly starts and stops may be experiencing restricted airflow, a dirty filter, thermostat or control problems, overheating, flame-sensor issues, equipment-sizing problems, or another system fault. Because short cycling is a symptom rather than a diagnosis, Air Done Right assesses the furnace operation, controls, airflow, and applicable components to determine what is interrupting the normal heating cycle.
