Newark is a small community you could drive through on Route 113 without realizing it — a cluster of homes, farms and open fields between Berlin and Snow Hill. People here tend to stay put for a long time, and so do their heating and cooling systems.
That makes Newark a place where equipment gets stretched well past its prime. Jim Schiffler Heating & Air provides local family-run HVAC service and offers 24/7 service, plus honest advice on when a tired furnace or heat pump has finally earned its retirement.

HVAC Replacement & Installation in Newark
Most Newark homes are heated one of three ways: an older heat pump with electric backup, a propane or oil furnace, or a combination of the two. Jim looks at what you have and how it has held up, then compares a new heat pump, a new furnace paired with central AC, or a dual-fuel system that uses both.
If your electric bill jumps every winter, the heat pump’s backup heat strips may be doing most of the work. A properly sized, matched heat pump with the right controls saves that backup heat for the coldest days instead of running it every day.
For workshops, garages and outbuildings that never had heat or air, a ductless mini-split can condition the space on its own without tying into the house system.

HVAC Challenges for Newark Homes
Heat pumps stuck on auxiliary heat
If the thermostat often shows “aux” or “emergency heat,” the heat pump may be low on refrigerant, undersized or not defrosting properly. Running on electric resistance heat costs more, so it is worth a proper diagnosis.
Furnaces past their service life
An older furnace that short-cycles, makes new noises or gives off an unusual smell deserves a safety check. Jim inspects the burner, venting and controls before recommending a repair or a replacement.
Long gaps between service
Rural systems often go years without maintenance. A yearly tune-up catches weak parts, clogged drains and dirty coils before they turn into a middle-of-the-night emergency.
Older farmhouse ductwork
Ducts in the crawlspaces and attics of older farmhouses are often uninsulated or leaking. Sealing and insulating them can improve comfort before — or alongside — new equipment.

Newark HVAC FAQ
Why does my Newark heat pump keep switching to emergency heat?
Common causes include low refrigerant, a defrost problem, an undersized system or thermostat settings. Running on backup heat costs more, so call Jim for a diagnosis rather than letting it run that way all winter.
Should I replace my old propane or oil furnace in Newark with a new furnace or a heat pump?
It depends on the house, your electrical service and how you feel about fuel deliveries. Jim lays out both options — and a dual-fuel system that combines them — without promising a specific savings figure.
Can you add heat and air to a workshop or garage on my Newark property?
Yes. A ductless mini-split is usually the simplest way to condition a detached workshop or garage. Jim checks the space, the electrical supply and where the outdoor unit can go.
Do you offer service in Newark, including emergencies?
Yes. Newark is part of our service area. Call (443) 513-6100 for repairs, maintenance or a replacement estimate. For emergencies, call any time; arrival depends on current calls and crew location.
How often should my system be serviced?
Once a year for most systems, ideally before the season you rely on it most. Heat pumps work year-round, so a spring and a fall check are worth considering.
