Heating in Wilmington: what's different
Heating work in Wilmington follows the local climate. Furnaces in mixed climates run for several months, and ice storms or cold snaps put sudden load on them. Annual safety checks on burners, venting and heat exchangers are worthwhile.
A common Wilmington pattern: boilers and radiators. Many rowhouses still heat with gas boilers, which need annual combustion checks, expansion tank and relief valve testing, and radiator bleeding.
The heating services Wilmington homeowners ask for most are furnace Repair, carbon Monoxide & Gas Safety, boiler & Radiant Heat. No heat, ignition failure, short cycling and pilot or flame sensor problems.
The City of Wilmington's Department of Licenses and Inspections handles mechanical permits; New Castle County covers suburban areas. Boiler and furnace service is busiest from October through December.
