Warning signs

What we repair, and when to call

Do not wait on a heat problem. Small issues turn into big ones in the cold. Here is how fast to call:

  1. Before anything else

    Smell gas?

    • Leave the house first. Call your gas utility, then call us.

  2. Call today

    You have no heat, or you are about to lose it.

    • Your furnace blows cold air or will not turn on.
    • The pilot light or igniter will not stay lit.

  3. Call this week

    The heat works, but something is wrong. These get worse.

    • The system turns on and off too often.
    • You hear banging, rattling, or booming when it runs.
    • Some radiators stay cold while others heat up.

  4. Keep an eye on it

    Not urgent yet. Worth a call before the cold sets in.

    • Your gas bill jumped with no change in use.

We repair gas and electric heat only. We do not service oil systems.

Gas boiler and radiator repair

Most HVAC shops will not touch old boilers.We will

Many South Philly rowhomes still run on gas boilers and radiators. That is a normal week for us, not a special case. This one is on our route: we know every part of it by name.

A working gas boiler we service in a South Philly rowhome.
  1. Circulator pump. Cold radiators? Usually this pump.
  2. Expansion tank. Low pressure and banging pipes start here.
  3. Supply fittings. Leaks show up at old joints like these first.
  4. Vent damper. When this sticks, the boiler will not fire.

Steam heat and hot water both. Gas only, never oil.

Old boiler or cold radiators? Get a flat $89 diagnostic, and an honest price before any work.

The honest call

Repair or replace?
We give it to you straight

Sometimes a repair is the smart move. Sometimes a new system saves you more. We give you the honest answer, even when it is not the bigger sale.

One common guide is the $5,000 rule. Multiply the repair cost by the age of the system. If the number tops $5,000, replacing is often smarter.

Need a new system? We give a free estimate. You can also finance it through Hearth and pay monthly.

Try the $5,000 rule on your system

Slide to your repair quote and your system's age. The rule multiplies them.

$400 × 10 years =$4,000

Under $5,000: a repair is often the smart move.

One common guide, not a promise. The $89 diagnostic gives you the real answer, and we tell you straight either way.

Air balancing

Hot upstairs,
 cold downstairs?
We fix that too

A hot upstairs and a cold downstairs is a classic rowhome problem. Heat rises in a tall, narrow home. The upstairs bakes while the downstairs stays cold.

We balance the airflow so each floor feels right. Sometimes the fix is a simple adjustment. Sometimes a ductless mini-split for the top floor is the real answer.

Why South Philadelphia chooses Piccione's

Three things worth checking before you let anyone work on your heat: who shows up, whether they are licensed, and what the neighbors say.

Victor is hands down one of the most honest HVAC technicians I've ever dealt with. After dealing with a bad thermostat issue that was causing my gas bill to be ridiculously high, Victor came out, took the time to properly inspect everything, and immediately found the problem. What I appreciated most was that he never tried to oversell me on things I didn't need.

Common questions

Gas heat repair questions, answered

What South Philly homeowners ask us most before they book the $89 diagnostic.

Every repair starts with a flat $89 diagnostic. Then you get a clear price for the fix. The cost depends on the part and the problem. Most repairs cost far less than a new system. You decide before we start.

A few parts fail most often. Common culprits are the igniter, flame sensor, blower motor, and thermostat. Our diagnostic finds the exact cause fast.

It depends on the age and the repair. Most gas furnaces last 15 to 20 years. Say yours is near the end and the fix is pricey. A new system may cost less over time. We give you the honest call.

Yes. We fix gas boilers, steam heat, and hot water radiators. Most HVAC shops do not. We work on gas systems only, never oil.

We move fast on no-heat calls. We often fix them the same day. We also offer holiday emergency service by request. We are not a 24-hour shop, but we get to you quick.

It is a quick way to weigh repair against replacement. Multiply the repair cost by the age of the system. If the number tops $5,000, replacement is often smarter.

Yes. We offer financing through Hearth. You can apply in minutes and pay monthly. It helps with a bigger repair or a new system.

Yes. We are licensed and insured in Pennsylvania. Our license number is PA214831. You are hiring a real, accountable local pro.
