Comfort in Philadelphia: what local conditions demand
Brick rowhouses dominate, many heating with aging boilers or furnaces, while humid summers push window ACs and central-air retrofits.
Pennsylvania is heating country with a humid-summer kicker: long winters drive furnace and boiler demand in Philadelphia rowhouses and Pittsburgh's hillside housing, while July humidity makes air conditioning a must across the southeast. Much of the housing stock predates central air, so ductless mini-splits are a common retrofit. A contractor who works the Philadelphia area every week knows which systems handle local conditions best — ask what they recommend for your street, not just your state.
