Are these photos of Swellfort's actual work?

Yes. Our gallery shows real installations and repairs performed by our own crew across Hyattsville and Prince George's County — not stock images or manufacturer photos. We organize the gallery by the problem each job solved, such as a mini-split retrofit in a balloon-framed historic home or a return-duct correction that fixed a hot second floor, because the equipment matters less than what it accomplished in that specific house.

Can you do a job like the ones shown in my home?

Very likely, because the housing stock in our gallery is the housing stock across our service area — pre-1940 balloon-framed homes, post-war ramblers and split-levels, and newer townhomes all appear here. The right approach depends on your specific home, which is why every project starts with a measurement: a Manual J load calculation for replacements, and static-pressure and refrigerant readings for repairs. We can walk your home and tell you which of these solutions fits.

Why do you show the ductwork and venting, not just the new equipment?

Because that is where jobs are won or lost. A correctly sized condenser on undersized ductwork still leaves you with a hot upstairs, and a furnace swap that ignores an orphaned water-heater flue can create a carbon monoxide hazard. Photographing the return corrections, line-set brazing, and venting fixes shows the work most contractors leave out of both the photos and the job. It is the difference between a system that looks new and one that actually performs.

Do you provide references from past customers?

Yes. Alongside the gallery, we can connect prospective customers with references in Hyattsville and the surrounding communities, and our reviews reflect the same measurement-first approach you see in these projects. Call our office at (227) 249-1654 and we can point you to comparable jobs near you.

How do I get a project like these started?

Start with a call to (227) 249-1654 to schedule an assessment. For a replacement, we run a room-by-room load calculation and specify equipment to it; for a repair or comfort problem, we take static-pressure and system readings to identify the real cause before quoting. Either way, you get a scope built on measurements, and the finished job joins the kind of work shown in this gallery.

Swellfort Heating & Air Conditioning Project Gallery

Photos of a shiny new condenser on a concrete pad tell you almost nothing. Any company can set a box outside. What separates a good HVAC job from a bad one is the part the camera has to work to show: the line set brazed clean under nitrogen, the return duct finally sized to move the air, the orphaned water-heater flue corrected before it became a carbon monoxide problem. This gallery is organized around the problem each job solved, not just the equipment installed. Image placeholders below are captioned and ready — Marvin drops in the real job photos before publish; no stock photography.

Ductless Mini-Split Retrofits — Pre-1940 Homes

Balloon-framed Victorians and foursquares in the Hyattsville Historic District, Mount Rainier, and Riverdale Park have no wall cavity for conventional ductwork and often still run on original hydronic heat. Ductless multi-zone systems solve the cooling problem with a three-inch line-set penetration per head instead of tearing open plaster.

Return-Duct and Static-Pressure Corrections

Hyattsville’s post-war ramblers and split-levels were built with a single undersized central return. That is why the second floor never cools. These jobs added return paths and resized trunk lines to bring measured static pressure down from 0.9-plus inches of water column toward the 0.5 design target.

Furnace Replacements & Orphaned-Flue Fixes

When an 80% AFUE furnace is swapped for a 95%+ condensing unit venting out a sidewall, the gas water heater is left alone on a chimney too large for it — a backdraft and carbon monoxide risk. These installs show the furnace changeout and the venting correction that most contractors skip.

Air Conditioning & Heat Pump Installations

Right-sized replacements specified by Manual J and Manual S, matched AHRI-certified systems, and heat-pump conversions sized to the 20°F winter design temperature that makes dual-fuel work so well in this climate.

Indoor Air Quality & Whole-Home Dehumidification

For the August latent load that leaves so many homes cold-but-clammy: whole-home dehumidifiers, MERV 13 filtration with static verified after the upgrade, UV-C coil treatment, and sealed duct systems.

Light Commercial & Rooftop Units

Retail and small-office work along the Route 1 corridor and Route 450 in Bladensburg — rooftop unit changeouts, curb adapters, and service on packaged systems.
