Air Conditioning for Philadelphia Rowhomes & Twins
Most Philadelphia rowhomes were built around radiator heat and never got ductwork, which leaves upper-floor bedrooms brutal by mid-July and window units fighting a losing battle. Ductless systems solved that problem, and we install them constantly — compact high-wall heads inside, a single outdoor unit tucked behind the house. Twins in the Northeast, with more exterior wall to work with, often take conventional central air instead.
Cooling a rowhome that has no ducts
Central air in the conventional sense was never an option for the classic rowhome — there is no duct path, and carving one through the house sacrifices closets and ceiling height. Multi-zone ductless systems changed that: one outdoor unit feeds individual high-wall heads on each floor, every room gets its own setpoint, and the top floor finally cools as well as the first. Placement is the craft — siting the outdoor unit in limited rear space and routing linesets cleanly through a party-wall masonry house takes practice we have in volume. For twins with yard access, we still install plenty of conventional ducted central AC.

Air Conditioning Questions — Philadelphia, PA
What is the best way to cool a Philly rowhome with no ducts?
A multi-zone ductless system is usually the answer — high-wall heads on each floor with no ductwork required, and far better performance upstairs than window units can manage.
Can one outdoor unit cool my whole rowhome?
In most rowhomes, yes. Multi-zone systems are designed for exactly that, with each indoor head controlled separately so bedrooms and living space keep their own temperatures.
How fast can you get my AC running in a heat wave?
Same-day service is typical — cooling calls dispatch from our hub on Comly Road, which keeps drive times short from the Northeast to South Philly.
