HVAC in Fishtown & the River Wards
Renovated rows, ground-up new builds, and century-old originals sit on the same block here. From Frankford Avenue to the river, we install and service systems for homeowners, flippers and builders across Fishtown, NoLibs, Kensington and Port Richmond.
Heating & Cooling for a Neighborhood That's Rebuilding Itself
No part of Philadelphia mixes housing stock like the River Wards. A gut-renovated Fishtown row with all-new mechanicals sits next to an untouched 1890s original heated by radiators; around the corner, a builder is roughing in HVAC for four new townhomes with roof decks. We work on all three — mini-split retrofits for the originals, service and warranty work on renovation-era equipment, and complete new-construction installations for builders and developers.
Renovated homes here often got builder-grade equipment installed fast during the boom — and a decade later, it's failing. We're straight about what you have: if a repair keeps a marginal system running through summer, we'll do that; if you're better off swapping to a properly sized heat pump, we'll show you numbers, including the federal credits that apply. Roof-deck condenser placements, condo-style stacked units off Frankford Ave, and tight rear-yard installs are all familiar work.
We cover Fishtown, Northern Liberties, East Kensington, Olde Richmond, Port Richmond and Bridesburg — ZIP codes 19123, 19125, 19134 and 19137 — for homeowners, landlords and builders alike.

Fishtown & River Wards HVAC questions, answered
You have two honest paths: keep repairing it, or replace it with properly sized, quality equipment. Builder-grade systems from the renovation boom often run 10–15 years with increasing problems. We'll diagnose what's actually failing, quote the repair, and quote a replacement side by side — including heat pump options that qualify for up to $2,000 in federal credits — so you can decide with real numbers.
Yes — roof-deck and flat-roof condenser placements are standard work in Fishtown and NoLibs. We use vibration-isolated stands placed to protect the roof membrane, route line sets cleanly, and position units so your deck stays usable and your neighbors stay happy.
Yes. We handle complete HVAC design and installation for new townhome and multi-unit projects — equipment selection, rough-in, line sets, and final commissioning — with schedules that keep your trades moving. Call (267) 252-2969 to talk through a project.
Absolutely — that's what ductless mini-splits are for. No ductwork needed, minimal disruption to plaster and trim, and each floor gets its own control. Most installs take one to two days, and the same system provides efficient heat in winter.

Straight From Google
“I'm not usually one to write reviews, but my experience with Lumen Heating and Cooling was so exceptional that it demanded one. … Mark personally called me the same evening I submitted my inquiry. His team arrived the next day and resolved every problem with both units. Their workmanship was precise, clean, and thorough. They treated me and my family with genuine care, delivered results that far exceeded expectations, and stood behind their work long after the job was finished.”

Mark came out to Cherry Hill, NJ to service my unresponsive unit.. I have a 4 year old & 10 month old at home; needless to say repairing was super necessary & we needed it done fast. He came through with a proper diagnosis & thorough assessment of the entire unit & problem. Prompt, professional & trustworthy, your search stops here... call Lumen & get your unit working again. I'd give more stars if I could!

Mark and team did a great job. We lost heat during the coldest week of the year and he came out immediately and did an urgent installation and was flexible about scheduling. He was fair and transparent about price and really clear about what he was doing. We definitely plan on working with him in the future if other repairs are needed. Highly recommend!

I honestly never write reviews, but Lumen absolutely deserves one.
I needed a new gas furnace and they were fast, professional, and had the best price by far. I shopped around, got multiple quotes, and nothing even came close. From the first call to installation, everything was smooth and stress-free.
The team showed up and got the job done quickly. No pressure, —just honest, quality work.
If you're searching around like I was, stop searching and call them ASAP. You won't do better.

Thank you for fixing the blower on our central air unit within days in the middle of a heat wave. You were very professional and did an amazing job! I would highly recommend!

They were quick and efficient at installing a new Mini split in our home. Their prices were good and their work was high quality. They were communicative, transparent and professional. Would definitely recommend them.

Lumen Tech was very nice. I had a used heater installed by another company and it didn't work, my place was freezing. Lumen came in and fixed the problem in one day. My house was warm and I'm happy now. Thanks Lumen :)
