Question Answers
As a Melrose Park homeowner dealing with drafty rooms or high energy bills, could my HVAC system have air duct leakage?
Absolutely. Air duct leakage is a common issue in our area that can significantly reduce system efficiency and comfort. During an HVAC maintenance visit, our technicians perform a thorough inspection of your ductwork, checking for leaks, poor seals, and insulation issues. We can then seal and repair the ducts to restore proper airflow, improve indoor air quality, and help lower your monthly energy costs.
My fireplace doesn't draw well. Does Hemingway offer cleaning, and will that solve the problem?
Yes, we provide professional fireplace and chimney cleaning, which is often the first step in resolving draft issues. A thorough cleaning removes soot, creosote buildup, and blockages like bird nests that can restrict airflow. Our sweep will also inspect the flue and fireplace structure for any damage or other problems that might be contributing to the poor performance, ensuring your fireplace operates safely and effectively.
You've been in business since 1948. What does that long history mean for my chimney or HVAC project?
Our history, beginning with founder Joseph Mitchell Hemingway, represents a deep, accumulated knowledge of chimney design, materials, and local building codes that you can't get from a newer company. For your project, this means we bring proven expertise in engineering safe, durable solutions—whether it's a custom chimney fabrication for a historic home, a high-efficiency boiler exhaust, or a modern HVAC installation. We've seen and solved nearly every challenge over 75 years.
