At Central Plumbing, we specialize in comprehensive heating and cooling solutions that keep Fountainville properties comfortable year-round. Our expertise spans every aspect of HVAC service, from emergency repairs that get your system running again within hours to complete heat pump installations that transform your home’s energy efficiency.
Our heat pump installation services have become increasingly popular among Fountainville homeowners who want the ultimate in year-round comfort and efficiency. Heat pumps offer both heating and cooling capabilities in a single, highly efficient system. Unlike traditional furnaces that burn fuel to create heat, heat pumps transfer heat energy, making them up to three times more efficient than conventional heating systems. We install both air-source heat pumps and ground-source geothermal systems, helping customers choose the right solution based on their property size, budget, and efficiency goals.
Our air conditioning installation and repair services ensure that when Montgomery County’s summer humidity and heat arrive, your cooling system is ready. We work with all major brands and all types of systems, from central air conditioning to ductless mini-split installations that provide zoned comfort control. Our technicians are experts in proper system sizing, ensuring your new equipment delivers optimal efficiency and comfort without oversizing that wastes energy or undersizing that can’t handle the load.
For heating system installation and maintenance, we handle everything from high-efficiency furnaces to modern boiler systems. Our furnace repair and tune-up services include comprehensive safety inspections, heat exchanger examinations, and blower motor servicing. We’re certified to work with both gas and electric systems, and our preventive maintenance programs can reduce emergency breakdowns by up to 70 percent while extending system life significantly.
Our ductwork inspection and cleaning services address indoor air quality issues that many homeowners don’t realize they have. Properly sealed and clean ductwork can improve system efficiency by 20 percent or more. We also provide thermostat installation services, including both programmable models and modern smart thermostats that learn your schedule and preferences while optimizing energy usage automatically.
Indoor air quality solutions have become increasingly important, and we offer comprehensive options including HEPA air purifiers, whole-house humidifiers for dry winter air, and dehumidifiers for Pennsylvania’s humid summers. Our technicians understand MERV filter ratings and can recommend the right filtration level for your family’s specific needs.
We’re certified to handle all modern refrigerants including R-410A, and we maintain 24/7 emergency heating and cooling services because we know that a broken AC during a summer heatwave or a dead furnace on the coldest night of winter can be dangerous. Our emergency response time is consistently under 60 minutes for Fountainville and surrounding Montgomery County communities.
After 13 years of serving Montgomery County, we’ve built a reputation that other local service providers simply can’t match. While many HVAC companies in the region promise fast service, our documented emergency response time of under 60 minutes is something we actually deliver, not just advertise. Other area companies often leave customers waiting hours or even days, especially during peak seasons when everyone needs service at once.
Our NATE certification sets our technicians apart from competitors who may use less qualified workers. NATE certification requires rigorous testing and ongoing education, proving that our team has genuine expertise in HVAC installation, maintenance, and repair. Some local competitors use subcontractors or less experienced technicians, but every Central Plumbing HVAC technician meets the industry’s highest standards.
Unlike other providers in Fountainville who spring surprise charges and hidden fees on customers, we believe in complete pricing transparency. You’ll receive upfront, detailed pricing before we start any work, and that price won’t change unless you approve additional services. Many area companies quote low initial prices only to add charges for materials, disposal, or other “unexpected” costs that should have been included from the beginning.
While national chain competitors follow corporate policies and procedures that leave little room for flexibility, our local ownership means we can adapt to each customer’s unique situation. We understand the specific challenges of heating and cooling homes near the Neshaminy Creek area versus the different requirements of properties around Central Bucks High School South. That kind of local knowledge comes from actually living and working in these communities for over a decade.
Our preventive maintenance programs deliver proven results that other companies simply can’t demonstrate. Our customers experience 70 percent fewer emergency breakdowns, significantly extended equipment life, and measurably improved energy efficiency. Some area providers offer maintenance plans that are really just expensive cleaning services, but our programs include comprehensive system optimization and early problem detection.
We’re available 365 days a year with genuine 24/7 emergency service, not the limited evening hours that some local competitors provide. We offer same-day service when possible and next-day installation when systems need immediate replacement. Our flexible financing options make major installations affordable, and we provide free estimates so customers can make informed decisions without pressure.
Jennifer from the Hilltown Pike area called us on a Sunday morning in January when her heat pump stopped working entirely during one of the coldest weeks of winter. “I was panicking because I have two small children, and other companies I called either didn’t answer or said they couldn’t come until Wednesday,” she told us. Our technician arrived within 45 minutes, diagnosed a failed reversing valve, and had a replacement part on the truck. “Not only did they fix it the same day, but the technician explained exactly what happened and showed me how to prevent similar issues. I couldn’t believe they actually answered their phone on Sunday morning and came out so fast.”
Michael, who owns several rental properties near Fountain Road, had been struggling with an HVAC company that consistently showed up late and left jobs incomplete. When one of his tenant’s air conditioning systems failed during a summer heatwave, he called Central Plumbing after seeing our work at a neighbor’s property. “The difference was incredible,” he said. “They showed up exactly when they said they would, completed the installation in one day instead of dragging it out over a week like the previous company, and the tenant is thrilled with how quiet and efficient the new system is. I’ve switched all my properties to Central Plumbing for maintenance now.”
Sarah from the Central Bucks High School South neighborhood contacted us after getting frustrated with pushy sales tactics from another local HVAC company that kept trying to sell her a system that was clearly oversized for her home. “The Central Plumbing technician actually measured everything properly and recommended a smaller, more efficient heat pump that saved me thousands of dollars,” she explained. “Six months later, my energy bills are lower than they’ve ever been, and the house stays perfectly comfortable. They could have sold me the expensive system like the other company wanted to, but they chose to do what was right for my home instead.”
Don’t wait for your HVAC system to fail during the most extreme weather of the year. Whether you’re interested in a modern heat pump installation that can dramatically reduce your energy costs, need emergency repair service for a system that’s acting up, or want to schedule preventive maintenance to avoid problems before they start, Central Plumbing is ready to help.
We’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year because HVAC emergencies don’t wait for convenient times.

Heat pump installation is an excellent choice for most Fountainville properties, especially given Montgomery County’s moderate climate. Heat pumps work efficiently in temperatures down to about 25 degrees, and with modern cold-climate models, they can handle even Pennsylvania’s coldest winter days. Central Plumbing evaluates factors like your home’s insulation, current ductwork, energy costs, and heating demands to determine if a heat pump installation makes sense. We’ll provide honest recommendations based on your specific situation, not what generates the highest profit for us. Many Fountainville homeowners see 30-50% reductions in energy costs after switching to high-efficiency heat pumps.
Our comprehensive maintenance plans include thorough system inspections, cleaning of all components, lubrication of moving parts, refrigerant level checks, electrical connection tightening, and safety system testing. For Fountainville customers, we also check for issues specific to our area like humidity control problems and ensure your system is properly sized for Montgomery County’s seasonal temperature swings. Our NATE-certified technicians document everything and provide detailed reports showing system performance. Customers in our maintenance programs experience 70% fewer emergency breakdowns and significantly extended equipment life compared to systems without regular professional service.
