HVAC Services in South Philadelphia
From Passyunk Square to Packer Park, South Philly's brick row homes are our bread and butter — mini-split retrofits, rooftop condenser swaps, basement furnace replacements and 24/7 repairs, done by techs who know these blocks.
Heating & Cooling Built for South Philly Row Homes
Most of South Philadelphia was built between 1900 and 1940 — two- and three-story brick rows on narrow streets, with flat roofs, basement gas furnaces, and no ductwork above the first floor. That's exactly the kind of house we work on every day. We retrofit ductless mini-splits into homes that have relied on window units for decades, replace aging condensers on flat roofs (including the hoisting), and swap out 20-year-old basement furnaces before they fail in January.
We know the practical side of working in South Philly, too: tight rear alleys off Passyunk and Snyder, permit parking, rooftop access through pilot houses and hatches, and party-wall construction where line-set routing has to be clean and discreet. Crews show up with everything staged so your street isn't blocked all day.
We serve every block from Washington Avenue down to the stadiums — Passyunk Square, East Passyunk, Point Breeze, Newbold, Grays Ferry, Pennsport, Dickinson Narrows, Whitman, Girard Estate, Packer Park, Bella Vista and Queen Village — covering ZIP codes 19145, 19146, 19147 and 19148.

South Philly HVAC questions, answered
With a ductless mini-split system — the standard solution for South Philadelphia rows. A slim outdoor unit goes in the rear yard, on a wall bracket, or on the flat roof, and quiet indoor heads serve each floor or bedroom. You get real central-air comfort and heat in winter too, without tearing open plaster walls for ducts. Most row home installs are done in one to two days.
A complete ductless mini-split system for a typical two-story South Philly row runs $10,000–$14,000 installed, depending on the number of zones. Every quote is free and itemized, and qualifying heat pump systems are eligible for stacked PECO and EAP rebates — see our rebates page.
Yes — rooftop condensers are everywhere in South Philly and we replace them routinely. We handle the removal of the old unit, hoisting the new one, proper vibration-isolated mounting, and clean line-set routing down to your indoor unit. If your roof was recently coated or replaced, we coordinate placement so the membrane stays protected.
We run 24/7 emergency service across South Philadelphia and can usually have a tech at your door same-day, often within hours. Call (267) 252-2969 and we'll give you a real arrival window on the phone.

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 :)
