Heating & Cooling from the Schuylkill to City Line

West Philadelphia's signature homes — the big Victorian twins and singles of Spruce Hill, Cedar Park and Powelton Village — are beautiful and demanding: three stories, tall ceilings, radiator heat in many, and cooling that was never part of the plan. We retrofit ductless systems into these homes constantly, service their boilers and aging furnaces, and solve the classic third-floor-is-an-oven problem without butchering original woodwork.

We're also one of the area's go-to companies for landlords and property managers. Duplexes, triplexes and student rentals around University City turn over fast and can't sit without heat or AC — so we offer priority scheduling, direct-to-tenant coordination, straightforward invoicing per property, and honest guidance on when to repair versus replace across a portfolio. One call covers buildings in 19104, 19139, 19143 and 19151.

From Powelton Village and Mantua through Walnut Hill and Cobbs Creek, up to Wynnefield and Overbrook at the City Line — if it's west of the Schuylkill, we cover it, 24/7.

Common Questions

West Philly HVAC questions, answered

Yes — multi-unit and rental work is a big part of what we do in West Philly. We coordinate access directly with tenants, provide per-property invoicing and documentation, offer priority scheduling for no-heat and no-cool emergencies, and give portfolio-level advice on which systems to nurse along and which to replace before they fail mid-lease.

The third floor bakes because heat rises and the ductwork (if any exists) never reaches it properly. The usual fix is a ductless head or two serving the top floor — sometimes as a standalone zone, sometimes as part of a whole-home multi-zone system. It's a one- to two-day install that transforms how the house lives in summer.

Yes — furnace replacements are typically completed in a single day once you approve the quote, and we keep installation slots open through fall and winter. Get ahead of the rush: a free estimate now means you're not choosing a furnace during a cold snap. See heating installation for what's included.

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.

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 :)
