Common Furnace Problems in Hillside Homes
- ⚠️Mid-Century Heating Systems
Many Hillside homes were built in the 1940s-1960s. These homes often have furnaces on their second or third replacement - some now 20-25 years old themselves.
- 🔥Pilot Light Failures
Older standing-pilot furnaces are common in Hillside. These frequently have ignition issues, especially after power outages or strong winds.
- 🌡️Original Ductwork Issues
Hillside's post-war homes often have undersized or deteriorating original ductwork. This causes uneven heating and forces furnaces to work harder.
- 💨Blower Motor Wear
Furnaces in older Hillside homes run more cycles due to poor insulation. This accelerates blower motor wear and bearing failure.
- 🔌Thermostat Compatibility
Many Hillside homeowners upgrade to smart thermostats but have wiring issues with older furnaces. We can solve these compatibility problems.

What Hillside Residents Say About Us
Real reviews from your Hillside neighbors
"Our furnace quit on Super Bowl Sunday - worst timing ever. I called Dimatic expecting to wait, but they were at my Liberty Avenue home in 20 minutes. Fixed the ignitor and we had heat before kickoff. Incredible service."
Tony G.
Liberty Avenue, Hillside
"We've lived in our Hillside home for 40 years and the furnace finally gave up. Sheldon gave us an honest assessment - repair vs replace. No pressure. He fixed it for $300 when another company quoted $2,000 for a new unit. Honest man."
Dorothy W.
Bloy Street, Hillside
"As a first-time homeowner near Hillside High School, I didn't know who to call when my furnace started making weird noises. Found Dimatic online and they came out same day. Explained everything, fixed the problem, fair price. Now my go-to HVAC company."

Why Hillside Homes Need Specialized Furnace Care
Hillside's Housing History
Hillside Township developed primarily during the post-WWII suburban boom. Most homes were built between 1945-1965, creating a community of now 60-80 year old structures. This means:
- •Original gravity-fed or early forced-air systems
- •Many homes converted from oil to gas over the decades
- •Ductwork sized for 1950s standards, not modern furnaces
- •Basements with humidity issues affecting equipment
Hillside's Compact Layout Benefits You
Hillside is just 2.8 square miles - one of the smallest municipalities in Union County. Combined with our Union location, this means:
- •Fastest response times: 15-20 minutes to any Hillside address
- •No distance charges: Hillside is local for us
- •Community knowledge: We know Hillside's homes and history
- •Emergency priority: Hillside calls get fastest dispatch
