Frankford is a small Sussex County town on Route 113, between Selbyville and Dagsboro, with older homes along its main streets and farmland stretching out in every direction. The beaches are only a short drive east, but day-to-day life here feels a world away from the resort traffic.
Jim Schiffler Heating & Air serves Frankford, helping with older homes, rural properties and newer houses on the edges of town.

HVAC Replacement & Installation in Frankford
Plenty of older Frankford homes still cool with window units or heat with an aging oil furnace or electric baseboard. A heat pump can provide both heating and cooling in one system; where ducts are missing or poorly laid out, ductless mini-splits can serve the main rooms instead.
For homes that already have central air, Jim compares a new heat pump, a furnace paired with central AC and dual-fuel options, and checks the electrical service and ductwork before quoting.

HVAC Challenges for Frankford Homes
Window units and baseboard heat
Homes that never had central air often rely on a patchwork of window units and baseboard heaters. A mini-split or ducted heat pump can replace both with one quieter, more even system.
Older in-town ductwork
Ducts added to older homes are often undersized or leaky. Fixing them can make a bigger difference than new equipment alone.
Farm dust and debris
Outdoor units near fields pick up dust, pollen and chaff during planting and harvest. Regular coil cleaning keeps them running well.
Electrical capacity in older homes
Older houses may need more electrical capacity before a heat pump goes in. Jim checks this up front and lets you know if an electrician needs to be involved.

Frankford HVAC FAQ
Can I replace the window units in my Frankford home with something better?
Yes. A ductless mini-split system or a ducted heat pump can replace window units with quieter, more even comfort. Jim looks at the layout and explains which fits your home.
Should I replace my old oil furnace in Frankford with a heat pump?
For many homes it is worth considering, since a heat pump also adds cooling. Jim checks the electrical capacity, ducts and backup heat needs before recommending a change.
Do you work on farmhouses and rural homes around Frankford?
Yes. Rural homes are a regular part of the service area, and 24/7 service is available.
My Frankford home has central air but some rooms never cool. Why?
Usually it is a duct issue — undersized, leaking or poorly routed runs. Jim checks the ducts and explains whether a correction or a new layout will help.
