Jennifer from the Oreland Road area called us last December when her 15-year-old gas furnace stopped working completely during the coldest night of the year. Previous service calls to other companies had resulted in temporary patches that failed within weeks, and she was frustrated with unreliable repairs.
“I called Central Plumbing at 11 PM on a Sunday night when my furnace died, and Mike’s team had a technician at my door within 45 minutes,” Jennifer told us. “He diagnosed a cracked heat exchanger that other companies had missed, explained all my options clearly, and had a new energy-efficient furnace installed by the next evening. My heating bills have been 30% lower ever since.”
Robert, who manages several rental properties near the Flourtown Shopping Center, had been dealing with recurring HVAC problems that multiple contractors couldn’t seem to solve permanently. Tenants were complaining about inconsistent temperatures and high utility bills in his townhome units.
After our comprehensive system evaluation revealed undersized ductwork and improper refrigerant levels that previous technicians had overlooked, we designed a complete solution that included duct modifications and proper system sizing. “Central Plumbing didn’t just fix the immediate problem,” Robert explained. “They identified the root causes and delivered a permanent solution that has eliminated my maintenance headaches.”
Linda from near Sandy Run Middle School experienced a complete air conditioning failure during last summer’s heat wave when temperatures reached 95 degrees for three consecutive days. Other local companies told her they couldn’t schedule service for nearly a week.
