Nestled in the heart of Montgomery County, Buckingham Township represents one of Pennsylvania’s most picturesque communities, where sprawling properties along Buckingham Drive and the historic neighborhoods near Buckingham Friends School showcase a beautiful blend of colonial architecture and modern luxury homes.
From the established developments around Durham Road to the newer communities expanding toward the Doylestown border, homeowners throughout Buckingham are discovering that heat pump technology offers the perfect solution for year-round comfort in our region’s variable climate.
Pennsylvania’s unpredictable weather patterns – from humid summers reaching the upper 80s to freezing winters that can dip below 20 degrees – make energy-efficient heating and cooling systems essential for maintaining comfortable indoor environments while managing utility costs.

Heat pump systems represent the cutting edge of home comfort technology, providing both heating and cooling from a single, incredibly efficient unit that can reduce energy costs by up to 50 percent compared to traditional heating systems.
Our NATE-certified technicians specialize in heat pump installation for all types of residential and commercial properties throughout Buckingham, from the sprawling estates near Lahaska to the cozy homes in the village center around Route 202.
We work with all major heat pump manufacturers and can install both air-source heat pumps that extract warmth from outdoor air even in freezing temperatures, and ground-source geothermal heat pumps that utilize the earth’s consistent underground temperature for maximum efficiency.
Our heat pump installation process begins with comprehensive load calculations and system sizing to ensure your new unit provides optimal comfort and efficiency for your specific home layout and insulation levels.
Beyond heat pump installation, Central Plumbing provides complete HVAC services including air conditioning installation, repair, and maintenance for central air systems, ductless mini-splits, and multi-zone climate control systems.
Our heating system expertise covers furnace installation and repair, boiler installation and service, and comprehensive maintenance programs that can extend equipment life by years while preventing costly emergency breakdowns.
We handle all aspects of indoor air quality improvement including air purifier installation, whole-home humidification and dehumidification systems, advanced MERV-rated filtration upgrades, and complete ductwork inspection and cleaning services that ensure optimal airflow and energy efficiency.
Our thermostat installation services include both programmable models that can reduce energy usage by up to 10 percent and smart thermostats that learn your schedule and preferences while allowing remote control through smartphone apps.
We’re certified to handle all modern refrigerants including R-410A and the newer environmentally-friendly options, and our technicians stay current with EPA regulations and best practices for refrigerant handling and system commissioning.
When emergencies strike during extreme weather, our 24/7 emergency HVAC services ensure you’re never left without heat in winter or cooling in summer, with response times under 60 minutes throughout Montgomery County.
Our preventive maintenance programs include detailed inspections of heat exchangers, condensers, variable-speed motors, and all system components, helping reduce emergency calls by up to 70 percent while maintaining peak efficiency ratings and extending equipment warranties.
After 13 years of dedicated service throughout Montgomery County, Central Plumbing has built an unmatched reputation for heat pump installation excellence and complete customer satisfaction in Buckingham and surrounding communities.
While many HVAC companies in the region require customers to wait hours or even days for service calls, our emergency response time averages under 60 minutes, ensuring your comfort is restored quickly when systems fail during Pennsylvania’s most extreme weather conditions.
Unlike some area providers who surprise customers with hidden fees and unclear pricing structures, we provide upfront, transparent pricing before any work begins, so you’ll never experience unexpected charges or bill shock after your heat pump installation is complete.
Our HVAC technicians are NATE-certified, meaning they’ve proven their expertise through rigorous industry testing, while some local competitors rely on technicians who lack this important professional certification that ensures proper installation and service techniques.
As a locally owned and operated company, we make decisions right here in the community rather than following corporate policies set by distant headquarters, which means flexibility and personalized service that national chains simply cannot match.
From the historic properties near Buckingham Friends Meetinghouse to the luxury homes along Aquetong Road, our deep knowledge of local architecture, building codes, and common HVAC challenges gives us advantages that providers from outside the area simply don’t possess.
We offer same-day service options and next-day installation capabilities when systems need immediate replacement, while other local service providers often schedule installations weeks in advance, leaving customers uncomfortable during extreme weather.
Our financing options make major heat pump installations affordable for every budget, and we provide free estimates so you can make informed decisions about your home comfort investments without any pressure or obligation.
Most importantly, we’re committed to doing every job right the first time because our reputation in this tight-knit community is everything to us, and we know satisfied customers become our best source of referrals.
Last winter, Barbara from the Forest Grove neighborhood called us at 11 PM when her 15-year-old oil furnace finally gave out during a brutal cold snap that dropped temperatures to 12 degrees.
Previous companies had told her it would be at least three days before they could even look at the system, but our emergency technician arrived in 45 minutes and quickly determined the furnace was beyond economical repair.
We installed a new high-efficiency heat pump system the next morning, and Barbara told us, “I can’t believe how much more comfortable my house is now, and my energy bills have dropped by almost 40 percent compared to that old oil system.”
David, who owns a historic stone farmhouse near Lahaska, had struggled for years with uneven heating from an inadequate system that other contractors insisted couldn’t be improved without major renovations.
Our NATE-certified technicians designed a zoned heat pump solution that provides consistent comfort throughout his home while preserving its historic character, and he said, “Central Plumbing figured out what three other companies said was impossible, and now every room stays exactly the temperature we want.”
When Jennifer’s air conditioning failed during last summer’s heat wave that brought five consecutive days above 90 degrees, we installed a complete heat pump system in her Durham Road home within 24 hours.
She told us, “Other companies wanted to just patch the old system, but Central Plumbing explained how a heat pump would give me better cooling now and efficient heating this winter, and they were absolutely right about everything.”
Modern heat pumps are specifically designed to operate efficiently in Pennsylvania’s climate, extracting heat from outdoor air even when temperatures drop well below freezing. Today’s advanced heat pump systems can provide effective heating down to temperatures as low as 5 degrees Fahrenheit, which covers the vast majority of winter days in Montgomery County.
Central Plumbing installs cold-climate heat pumps with variable-speed compressors and advanced refrigerant technology that maintain high efficiency ratings even during our coldest weather. For homes in Buckingham’s more exposed rural areas, we often recommend dual-fuel systems that automatically switch to backup heating during extreme cold snaps, ensuring consistent comfort regardless of outdoor conditions.
Proper heat pump sizing requires detailed load calculations that consider your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window efficiency, ceiling height, and local climate conditions. Many homes in Buckingham feature unique architectural elements and varying insulation quality, especially in historic properties, which makes professional sizing absolutely critical.
Our NATE-certified technicians perform comprehensive assessments using industry-standard Manual J load calculations to determine the exact BTU capacity your home requires. Oversized systems cycle on and off frequently, reducing efficiency and comfort, while undersized units struggle to maintain temperatures during extreme weather, which is why Central Plumbing never estimates system sizing without thorough evaluation.
Heat pumps can reduce heating and cooling costs by 30 to 50 percent compared to traditional systems, with exact savings depending on your current equipment, home efficiency, and usage patterns. Given Montgomery County’s energy costs and our climate conditions, most Buckingham homeowners see substantial monthly savings, especially when replacing older oil, propane, or electric resistance heating systems.
Central Plumbing installs ENERGY STAR certified heat pumps with SEER ratings up to 22 and HSPF ratings above 10, ensuring maximum efficiency and utility savings. We also help customers take advantage of available rebates and tax credits that can offset installation costs, making high-efficiency heat pump systems even more affordable for Buckingham families.
Most heat pump installations in Buckingham homes can be completed in one to two days, depending on system complexity and any necessary electrical or ductwork modifications. For straightforward replacements where existing ductwork is in good condition, we often complete installation in a single day, while more complex projects involving ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades may require additional time.
Central Plumbing provides detailed installation timelines during our free estimate process, and we coordinate all necessary permits and inspections to ensure your project proceeds smoothly. Our goal is always to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring every aspect of your heat pump installation meets the highest quality standards for long-term performance and reliability.
Don’t wait for your aging HVAC system to fail during Pennsylvania’s most extreme weather – whether it’s a sweltering summer heat wave or a bitter winter freeze.
