Common Furnace Problems in Cranford Homes
- ⚠️Historic Home Heating Systems
Cranford's older homes often have heating systems converted from coal to oil to gas over the decades. These multi-generation systems require specialized expertise.
- 🔥Pilot Light & Ignition Issues
Older standing-pilot furnaces are common in Cranford's pre-1980s homes. These frequently have ignition problems, especially after power outages or strong winds.
- 🌡️Flood Plain Moisture Issues
Parts of Cranford are in the Rahway River flood plain. Basements in these areas have higher humidity, which accelerates furnace corrosion and component wear.
- 💨Undersized Ductwork
Cranford's older homes often have original ductwork designed for less powerful furnaces. Modern high-efficiency units struggle with these restrictions.
- 🔌Thermostat Compatibility
Many Cranford homeowners want smart thermostats but have wiring challenges with older furnaces. We solve these compatibility issues regularly.

What Cranford Residents Say About Us
Real reviews from your Cranford neighbors
"We have a 1920s Colonial near downtown Cranford with a heating system that's been converted twice. Sheldon understood our system immediately and fixed it without trying to sell us something new. Finally, an honest HVAC company that respects older homes."
Elizabeth R.
Downtown Cranford
"Our furnace died the night before Thanksgiving with a house full of guests coming. Called Dimatic at 6 AM and Sheldon was at our Centennial Village home by 7:30. Had us up and running before noon. Saved our holiday - can't thank them enough."
Michael T.

"As busy commuters, we needed someone who could work around our schedule. Dimatic was flexible and professional. They explained our options clearly, did the repair efficiently, and cleaned up perfectly. Exactly what we expect in Cranford - quality service."
