When your air conditioning system breaks down in Conshohocken, Central Plumbing provides comprehensive AC repair services that address every possible issue.

Whether your compressor has failed, your refrigerant lines have developed leaks, your evaporator coils have frozen, or your condensing unit has stopped functioning entirely, our team arrives equipped with the tools and replacement parts needed to get your system running again quickly.
Our air conditioning repair expertise covers all major system components and common failure points. We diagnose and repair faulty thermostats, including both traditional programmable units and modern smart thermostats that may have connectivity or calibration issues. We service damaged ductwork that can reduce cooling efficiency and indoor air quality. Our technicians are certified to handle all refrigerant types safely, including R-410A and older refrigerants, ensuring proper refrigerant levels and identifying leaks that can cause system failures.
Beyond emergency repairs, Central Plumbing offers comprehensive HVAC maintenance services that can prevent many air conditioning breakdowns before they happen. Our preventive maintenance programs include thorough system inspections, cleaning of evaporator and condenser coils, filter replacement with proper MERV-rated filters for optimal air quality, and calibration of thermostats and system controls.
We also provide complete air conditioning installation and replacement services when repair isnβt the most cost-effective option. Our team helps customers choose properly sized systems based on BTU requirements and SEER efficiency ratings that will provide optimal cooling while minimizing energy costs. We work with ENERGY STAR certified equipment that can dramatically reduce utility bills while providing superior comfort and reliability.
For properties requiring enhanced comfort control, we install and service two-stage cooling systems and variable-speed air handlers that provide more consistent temperatures and improved humidity control. Weβre experienced with heat pump installation and repair for customers who want year-round heating and cooling efficiency from a single system.
Our indoor air quality services complement our AC repair work by addressing humidity control, air purification, and ventilation issues that affect both comfort and health. We install and maintain whole-house dehumidifiers that are especially valuable in Conshohockenβs river valley climate, air purifiers that remove allergens and contaminants, and ventilation systems that ensure fresh air circulation throughout your property.
After 13 years of serving Montgomery County, Central Plumbing has built a reputation that sets us apart from other local service providers in significant ways. While many HVAC companies in the region may promise quick service, we consistently deliver emergency response times under 60 minutes because we understand that a broken air conditioning system in summer heat can quickly become a health and safety issue.
Our NATE-certified technicians represent a level of expertise that not all area companies can match. NATE certification requires rigorous testing and ongoing education, proving that our team has mastered the technical knowledge needed for proper air conditioning repair, installation, and maintenance. Unlike some local competitors who may use uncertified technicians or subcontractors, every Central Plumbing HVAC specialist has demonstrated their competency through this industry-leading certification program.
Weβre locally owned and operated, which means local decision-making and accountability that national chain competitors simply cannot provide. When you call Central Plumbing, youβre reaching a company thatβs deeply invested in the Conshohocken community, with extensive experience in the historic properties near Fayette Street and the newer developments throughout the area.
Our upfront, transparent pricing eliminates the hidden fees and surprise charges that some area HVAC companies impose. We provide detailed estimates before beginning any work, so customers know exactly what their air conditioning repair will cost with no unpleasant surprises when the job is complete. While other local service providers may quote low initial prices only to add fees and charges later, our pricing remains consistent and honest from start to finish.
We offer genuine 24/7 emergency availability every day of the year, not just limited evening hours like many competitors. Air conditioning failures during heat waves can be dangerous, especially for elderly residents and families with young children, so we maintain full emergency response capabilities around the clock. Some companies claim emergency service but actually refer after-hours calls to answering services or delay response until the next business day.
Our deep knowledge of local building codes, permit requirements, and the unique challenges of Conshohockenβs mix of historic and modern properties gives us advantages that companies from outside the area cannot match. We understand how to work with the architectural constraints of converted mill buildings, the HVAC challenges of properties near the Schuylkill River, and the specific efficiency requirements that make sense for Montgomery Countyβs climate and energy costs.
Jennifer, who owns a townhome in the West Conshohocken area, called us on a sweltering Saturday afternoon in July when her central air system completely stopped cooling. With temperatures reaching 95 degrees and two young children in the house, she was desperate for help. βI called three other companies first, and none of them could come out until Monday,β she told us. βCentral Plumbing had a technician at my door in 45 minutes on a weekend. He diagnosed a failed capacitor and had the part with him to fix it immediately. My kids were back to playing comfortably within an hour.β
Robert, a business owner in the Conshohocken Business District, experienced an air conditioning failure during a crucial week of client meetings. Previous service providers had given him the runaround with multiple visits and incomplete repairs. βThe Central Plumbing technician was incredibly knowledgeable,β Robert said. βHe found that the previous company had misdiagnosed the problem entirely. It wasnβt the compressor like they claimed β it was a refrigerant leak and faulty expansion valve. He fixed both issues properly, and our office has been perfectly comfortable ever since.β
Maria, whose family lives in one of the historic properties near Fayette Street, had struggled with an aging AC system that other companies kept trying to repair with temporary fixes. βCentral Plumbing was honest with us about our options,β she explained. βInstead of continuing expensive repairs on a 20-year-old system, they showed us how a new high-efficiency unit would actually save money through lower energy bills. The installation was clean and professional, and they worked carefully around our homeβs historic features.β
