When the winter winds sweep through Colmar’s historic neighborhoods near Bethlehem Pike and the surrounding Montgomery County communities, having a reliable furnace isn’t just about comfort—it’s about keeping your family safe and warm. From the established homes around Colmar Elementary School to the newer developments near Route 309, homeowners throughout this close-knit community know that Pennsylvania winters can be unforgiving.

At Central Plumbing, we understand that furnace installation is one of the most important investments you’ll make in your home’s comfort and efficiency. Our comprehensive furnace installation services cover every aspect of heating system replacement, from initial sizing and selection through final testing and ongoing maintenance support.
Our NATE-certified technicians are experts in installing all types of modern furnace systems, including high-efficiency gas furnaces with AFUE ratings up to 98%, electric furnaces for homes without natural gas access, and dual-fuel systems that combine the efficiency of heat pumps with the reliability of gas backup heating. We work with leading manufacturers to ensure you get ENERGY STAR certified equipment that will dramatically reduce your energy bills while keeping your Colmar home consistently comfortable.
When sizing your new furnace, we perform detailed BTU load calculations that account for your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window efficiency, and local climate conditions. Proper sizing is critical—an oversized furnace will short-cycle and waste energy, while an undersized unit will struggle to maintain comfortable temperatures during Montgomery County’s coldest weather. Our technicians also evaluate your existing ductwork system, checking for leaks, proper insulation, and adequate airflow distribution to ensure your new furnace operates at peak efficiency.
We specialize in installing advanced features like two-stage heating systems that provide more consistent temperatures and improved efficiency, variable-speed blower motors that enhance comfort while reducing energy consumption, and smart thermostats that learn your schedule and preferences while maximizing energy savings. For homes with older ductwork, we can integrate zoning systems that allow independent temperature control for different areas of your property.
Our installation process includes complete removal and proper disposal of your old equipment, thorough cleaning of the installation area, and comprehensive testing of all safety systems including heat exchangers, gas connections, and carbon monoxide detection. We ensure all work meets local building codes and manufacturer specifications, and we handle all necessary permits and inspections to give you complete peace of mind.
While many HVAC companies in the Montgomery County area make promises about quality and service, Central Plumbing has spent over 13 years proving our commitment to the communities we serve, including families and businesses throughout Colmar, Lansdale, and Hatfield.
Our emergency response time of under 60 minutes sets us apart from other local service providers who may leave you waiting hours or even days when your heating system fails. Unlike some area HVAC companies that charge excessive premium rates for after-hours service, we maintain transparent, upfront pricing around the clock. You’ll know exactly what your furnace installation will cost before we begin any work, with no hidden fees or surprise charges that some competitors spring on customers.
Our NATE certification demonstrates proven expertise that many local contractors simply can’t match. While other companies may use technicians from outside the area who aren’t familiar with the specific challenges of heating historic homes near Bethlehem Pike or the newer construction around Colmar’s residential developments, our team has deep knowledge of local building styles and common HVAC issues.
We’re locally owned and operated, not a franchise following corporate policies, which means we can make decisions that prioritize your individual needs rather than company quotas. Our 13 years of exclusive focus on Bucks and Montgomery County means we understand local building codes, permit requirements, and the specific heating challenges that come with Pennsylvania’s climate extremes.
Unlike national chain competitors that subcontract work to unlicensed installers, every member of our team is fully licensed and insured. We don’t use pushy sales tactics or try to upsell unnecessary equipment. Instead, we educate our customers about their options and help them make informed decisions based on their specific comfort needs and budget considerations.
Properties around Colmar Elementary School and the neighborhoods near Route 309 have unique heating requirements, and our extensive local experience means we can recommend solutions that other providers might miss. We offer flexible financing options that make furnace replacement affordable, and our preventive maintenance plans can extend your new system’s life while reducing the likelihood of emergency breakdowns by up to 70%.
Rebecca from the Colmar Woods neighborhood called us on a frigid February morning when her 15-year-old furnace finally gave up during one of winter’s worst cold snaps. Other companies she contacted couldn’t schedule installation for over a week, but our team arrived within 45 minutes to assess the situation.
“I was panicking because I have two young children and elderly parents visiting, and the house was getting colder by the hour,” Rebecca told us. “Central Plumbing not only responded immediately, but they had a new high-efficiency furnace installed by the next afternoon. The technician explained everything clearly, and there were no surprise costs. Our heating bills have actually gone down significantly with the new system.”
James, who owns a property near Bethlehem Pike, had struggled with an unreliable heating system for three winters before deciding to replace his old furnace. Previous service calls from other local companies had resulted in temporary fixes that never lasted, and he was frustrated with escalating repair costs.
“The Central Plumbing team didn’t just install a new furnace—they identified ductwork issues that were causing uneven heating and poor efficiency,” James explained. “They fixed everything in one comprehensive installation, and now every room in my house stays consistently comfortable. I should have called them years ago instead of throwing money at repairs with other companies.”
Patricia, a business owner near Route 309, needed emergency furnace replacement for her office building when her heating system failed during a holiday weekend. While other HVAC contractors weren’t available until the following week, Central Plumbing responded immediately to prevent pipes from freezing and had her new system operational within 24 hours.
Several key indicators suggest it’s time for furnace replacement in your Colmar home. If your system is over 15 years old and requiring frequent repairs, replacement often becomes more cost-effective than continuing to fix an aging unit. Rising energy bills despite normal usage patterns indicate declining efficiency that can’t be restored through repairs.
Uneven heating throughout your home, strange noises, frequent cycling on and off, or visible signs of corrosion around the heat exchanger are all signals that replacement may be necessary. At Central Plumbing, our NATE-certified technicians provide honest assessments and will never recommend unnecessary replacement. We’ll help you understand the long-term costs and benefits so you can make the best decision for your Montgomery County property.
Proper furnace sizing requires professional BTU load calculations that account for your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window efficiency, ceiling height, and local climate conditions here in Montgomery County. Many homeowners assume bigger is better, but oversized furnaces actually waste energy and create comfort problems through short-cycling.
Central Plumbing’s technicians perform detailed Manual J load calculations to determine the exact BTU capacity your Colmar home requires. We consider factors like the age and style of your property, existing ductwork configuration, and your family’s specific comfort preferences. This ensures your new furnace operates at peak efficiency while maintaining consistent temperatures throughout your home.
Most furnace installations in Colmar homes can be completed within one day, though complex installations involving ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades may require additional time.
