Start with the service that matches your situation. Each page explains what the visit includes, the decisions you may face, and what happens next.
You are adding central air or ductless cooling to a home that does not have it. We assess the house, the ductwork, and the electrical supply before we recommend equipment.
Your current system is aging or costly to keep running. We compare repair and replacement costs with you and size the new system to your home.
Call for service when your system stops keeping the house comfortable or shows any of these signs. Philadelphia summers bring long stretches of heat and humidity, so small problems tend to show up fast.
We size every new system with a load calculation, not the size of the old unit or the square footage alone. The calculation accounts for insulation, windows, sun exposure, ceiling height, and how air moves between floors.
A system that is too large cools the house quickly and shuts off before it removes much moisture. A system that is too small runs constantly on the hottest days. Two homes of the same size on the same Philadelphia block can need different equipment.
The right cooling approach depends on the home. Central air uses ductwork to cool the whole house. Ductless mini-splits serve rooms or zones without conventional ductwork. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling with one system.
In rowhomes and older houses built for radiator heat, ductless is often the simplest way to add cooling without opening walls and ceilings. When an aging central air conditioner needs replacing, many homeowners choose a heat pump instead and keep their gas furnace as backup for the coldest days.
W.F. Smith serves Philadelphia and nearby communities across Bucks and Montgomery Counties. City homes can present access, ductwork, rooftop-equipment, and top-floor comfort challenges, so the service or estimate starts with the actual layout and equipment in the home.
Our Philadelphia HVAC service page covers rowhome cooling, rooftop condensers, and the city neighborhoods our crews work in most.
Yes. Along with homes, W.F. Smith installs and services cooling for offices, restaurants, and apartment buildings, including rooftop units and VRF systems. Commercial projects are planned around how the building is used and when the work can happen with the least disruption. Our Commercial AC page explains how those jobs are handled.
