Owner-run · South Philadelphia

Piccione's Heating & Cooling is based in South Philadelphia and works here every week. Owner Victor Piccione stands behind every job. Tight basements, flat roofs, and old boilers are normal days for us, not special cases.

We cover every South Philly neighborhood, from Girard Estate and Point Breeze to Queen Village and Pennsport. If your home or storefront is south of South Street, you are in our service area. No trip fee, no runaround.

We work on gas and electric systems only. Every job starts with an upfront price, and you pay when the work is done.

Neighborhoods we serve

South Philadelphia neighborhoods we serve

South Philly runs south of South Street all the way down to the stadiums, river to river, with the Schuylkill on one side and the Delaware on the other. Dozens of neighborhoods sit inside that line, from Graduate Hospital to Whitman. By zip code, it is 19145, 19146, 19147, and 19148. If you live anywhere in it, we serve your block.

In these homes

Our home base, and the part of South Philly we work most. Many of these homes still run gas boilers and radiators, and we service both.

A mix of renovated rowhomes and homes that have not been touched in decades. New mini-splits for the renovations, honest repairs for the older systems.

Some of the oldest housing stock in South Philadelphia. Plaster walls, no duct space, and narrow stairs. Ductless systems and careful workmanship matter most here.

Flat-roof rowhomes with rooftop vents and rooftop condensers. We are comfortable on these roofs, including the dryer vents other companies turn down.

Open Monday through Saturday. Holiday emergency service by request.

The work

What we do in South Philadelphia

Gas heat repair, ductless mini-split installation, central AC, seasonal tune-ups, diagnostics, dryer vent cleaning, and water heaters. Every service is on our services page, with flat prices listed on the ones we can promise: the $89 diagnostic, $79 tune-ups, and dryer vent cleaning from $125. Installs get a free in-home estimate.

The two jobs we get called for most: a heater that quit, and a rowhome that needs real heating and cooling without ductwork.

Rowhome rules

Built for South Philly rowhomes

Most of our service area is rowhomes, and rowhomes have their own rules. The side walls are shared, so outdoor units go in front, in back, or on the roof. The basements are narrow, so equipment has to fit through tight turns. Heat rises three stories, so the top floor bakes while the first floor stays cold.

We plan every job around those rules. That is the difference between a company that works in South Philly and a company that just drives here.

  • Shared side walls

    Outdoor units go in front, in back, or on the roof. We plan the placement before we quote.

  • Narrow basements

    Equipment has to fit through tight turns. We size and route for the house you actually have.

  • Three stories of rising heat

    The top floor bakes while the first floor stays cold. We balance for the whole house.

  • Flat roofs and rooftop vents

    Rooftop condensers and the dryer vents other companies turn down, handled safely.

South Philly neighbors, in their words.

“Great service, super honest, no surprises! I'm on board with these guys. Had my first appointment with them today and couldn't be happier. They're really all about honest forthright and friendly service. It's their business motto. Glad I have them as my HVAC people.”
Craig BrownVerified Google review
“Fantastic experience. Vic was informative, detail oriented, and respected our house as well. 5 stars!”
Michael PerlmutterVerified Google review
“I have been on the search for a good, reliable, honest and reasonable HVAC person for YEARS. Victor is IT. He did both my annual heater check before winter and helped source an ongoing issue with the A/C. He was kind, informed me about what what going on without being patronizing, and was just all around great and trustworthy. And charges reasonable prices. I'd give Piccione's 10 stars if I could.”
