Humid summers
Heat waves expose undersized cooling and homes without central air; ductless systems are a common upgrade.

Newark HVAC FAQ
How do I check an HVAC license in New Jersey?
Look up the contractor on the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs license verification site under the HVACR board.
Does each unit in a two-family home need its own system?
Not always, but separate systems give each household its own control and make billing simpler. Shared boilers need zoning to balance heat.
