When it comes to furnace installation, our NATE-certified technicians understand the critical importance of proper sizing and BTU capacity calculations. We perform detailed load calculations to ensure your new furnace provides optimal heating while maintaining maximum energy efficiency. Our installation services include both single-stage and two-stage furnaces, as well as modulating furnaces that provide superior comfort control and energy savings.
Beyond furnace installation, Central Plumbing provides comprehensive heating system services including boiler installation and repair for homes that use radiant heating systems. We specialize in heat pump installation and service, offering both traditional air-source heat pumps and high-efficiency ductless mini-split systems that provide both heating and cooling capabilities.
Our air conditioning services ensure year-round comfort, with expertise in central air system installation, repair, and replacement. We work with all SEER rating levels, helping you choose systems that balance initial investment with long-term energy savings. Our technicians are certified to handle modern refrigerants like R-410A safely and in compliance with EPA regulations.
Indoor air quality is another crucial aspect of our HVAC services. We install and maintain air purifiers, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers that work in conjunction with your heating and cooling systems to create the healthiest possible indoor environment. Our ductwork inspection and cleaning services ensure that your entire HVAC system operates at peak efficiency, while our MERV filter upgrades improve air quality and system protection.
We also specialize in smart thermostat installation and programming, including both programmable and WiFi-enabled models that allow you to control your home’s climate remotely while maximizing energy efficiency. Our preventive maintenance programs are designed to extend system life, improve efficiency, and reduce emergency breakdowns by up to 70 percent.
For homes in Furlong’s historic districts, we have extensive experience installing modern HVAC systems in older properties that weren’t originally designed for central heating and cooling. Our technicians understand how to work respectfully with historic architecture while providing modern comfort and efficiency.
After 13 years of serving Montgomery County communities like Furlong, we’ve built a reputation that sets us apart from other HVAC providers in the region. While many area companies struggle with response times that leave customers waiting hours or even days for service, our emergency response team consistently arrives in under 60 minutes, even during peak demand periods.
Our NATE certification isn’t just a credential we mention—it’s a proven demonstration that our technicians have passed rigorous testing in HVAC installation, maintenance, and repair. Unlike some local competitors who may use uncertified workers or subcontractors, every member of our HVAC team has demonstrated their expertise through this industry-leading certification program.
Transparent pricing is another area where we excel compared to other local service providers. We provide upfront, detailed estimates before beginning any work, ensuring you understand exactly what you’re paying for with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Some area companies are known for unclear pricing that leads to bill shock, but we believe in earning trust through complete transparency.
Our 24/7 emergency availability is genuine year-round service, not limited evening hours like some competitors offer. When your furnace fails on the coldest night of winter or your air conditioning breaks during a summer heatwave, you can reach our team immediately, any day of the year. We understand that HVAC emergencies can be dangerous, not just inconvenient.
Being locally owned and operated in Montgomery County means we make decisions locally and maintain accountability to the communities we serve. National chain competitors often follow corporate policies that don’t account for local conditions or individual customer needs, while we provide flexible, personalized service that addresses your specific situation.
Our deep knowledge of Furlong’s neighborhoods, from the properties near Buckingham Elementary to the homes along Bristol Road, means we understand the common HVAC challenges specific to this area. We know which systems work best in different types of local construction, and we’re familiar with local building codes and permit requirements that out-of-area providers might not understand.
Jennifer from the Pine Run neighborhood called us on a Sunday evening in January when her 15-year-old furnace completely stopped working. The temperature was dropping toward single digits, and she had called two other local companies who told her they couldn’t schedule service until Wednesday. “I was honestly panicking about staying in my house with my elderly mother,” Jennifer told us. “When Central Plumbing arrived in 45 minutes and had our new furnace installed by Monday afternoon, I couldn’t believe it. Their technician explained everything clearly, and the installation was flawless.”
Robert, who owns several rental properties near Furlong Station, had been struggling with an HVAC company that kept making temporary repairs to an aging system in one of his buildings. “They kept coming back every few months with another expensive band-aid fix,” he explained. “When Central Plumbing assessed the situation, they gave me an honest evaluation and installed a properly sized replacement system with a great financing plan. Six months later, my tenants are comfortable and my energy bills are 30% lower.”
Linda from the Village at Penn Oaks development needed emergency air conditioning service during last summer’s heat wave when her central air system stopped cooling effectively. Previous service calls from another company had resulted in temporary fixes that didn’t last. “Mike’s team not only fixed the immediate problem in less than an hour, but they identified and corrected the underlying issue that had been causing repeated failures,” Linda shared. “Their thorough approach saved me from another breakdown during the hottest week of the year.”
Several factors indicate that furnace installation is more cost-effective than continued repairs. If your current furnace is over 15 years old and requiring frequent repairs, replacement often makes financial sense. Rising energy bills, uneven heating throughout your home, excessive noise, or frequent cycling are also signs that your system is struggling with efficiency.
Our NATE-certified technicians at Central Plumbing provide honest assessments based on your furnace’s condition, repair history, and energy efficiency. We’ll never recommend unnecessary furnace installation, but when replacement is the better option, we explain exactly why and provide transparent pricing for your new system installation.
Proper furnace sizing requires detailed calculations that consider your home’s square footage, ceiling height, insulation levels, window types, and local climate conditions. Many HVAC companies in the Furlong area use simplified estimates, but Central Plumbing performs comprehensive Manual J load calculations to ensure optimal sizing.
An oversized furnace cycles on and off frequently, reducing efficiency and comfort while increasing wear. An undersized system runs constantly and can’t maintain comfortable temperatures. Our 13 years of experience with Montgomery County homes means we understand exactly how different construction types and ages affect heating requirements, ensuring your new furnace installation provides perfect comfort and efficiency.
Most furnace installations in Furlong homes take between 6 to 10 hours, depending on the complexity of the installation and whether any ductwork modifications are needed. Central Plumbing schedules installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine, and we often complete same-day installation when you need immediate replacement.
Our comprehensive furnace installation includes removal and disposal of your old system, installation of the new furnace with proper venting and connections, thermostat setup and programming, system testing and calibration, and detailed explanation of operation and maintenance requirements. We handle all necessary permits and ensure full compliance with local Montgomery County building codes.

We also provide free estimates for all furnace installation projects, allowing you to understand your options and make informed decisions without any pressure. Our upfront pricing means you’ll know exactly what your investment will be before we begin work, with no hidden fees or surprise charges that some other area providers might add.
