Our expert technicians handle furnace repair for all major brands and fuel types, including natural gas, propane, oil, and electric systems.

For homes with boiler heating systems, common in many of Oreland’s older properties, we provide comprehensive boiler repair including addressing issues with expansion tanks, circulation pumps, pressure relief valves, and zone control systems. Our technicians understand the complexity of hydronic heating systems and can quickly identify problems with radiators, baseboard heating, and in-floor radiant systems.
We’re experts in thermostat troubleshooting and replacement, working with both traditional programmable units and modern smart thermostats that offer WiFi connectivity and advanced scheduling features. Proper thermostat calibration is crucial for maintaining consistent temperatures and optimal energy efficiency throughout your home.
Our heating repair services also include ductwork inspection and repair, addressing issues like air leaks, disconnected joints, and blockages that can reduce heating efficiency by up to 30 percent.

For properties with aging heating systems, we provide honest assessments about repair versus replacement options. Sometimes a simple component replacement can extend system life for several more years, while other situations call for complete system replacement for better efficiency and reliability.

After 13 years of serving Montgomery County, Central Plumbing has built an unmatched reputation for reliable heating repair services throughout Oreland. Unlike other local service providers who may take hours to respond to emergency calls, our technicians typically arrive within 60 minutes of your call, even during peak winter demand periods.
While some area HVAC companies use technicians from outside the region who aren’t familiar with local home construction styles, our team has extensive experience with the specific heating challenges found in properties around Oreland’s various neighborhoods. From the historic homes near the Oreland Train Station to the newer developments around Paper Mill Road, we understand how different construction eras and architectural styles affect heating system performance.
Many heating contractors in the region charge hidden fees or surprise customers with unexpected costs, but Central Plumbing believes in complete transparency. We provide upfront pricing before beginning any repair work, so you’ll never face bill shock or unexpected charges. Our estimates are detailed and honest, explaining exactly what needs to be done and why.
National chain competitors often follow rigid corporate policies that don’t account for the unique needs of individual customers, but as a locally owned and operated company, we have the flexibility to provide personalized solutions. Our technicians live and work in these same communities, giving them genuine investment in maintaining long-term relationships with neighbors and local businesses.
Unlike some local companies that have limited emergency availability or charge excessive premium rates for after-hours service, Central Plumbing offers genuine 24/7 emergency heating repair at fair, transparent rates. We understand that a heating system failure on a Sunday night in January is just as urgent as one during regular business hours.
Our NATE certification sets us apart from competitors who may use untrained or inexperienced technicians. NATE certification requires rigorous testing and ongoing education, ensuring our team stays current with the latest heating technology, efficiency standards, and safety protocols. This expertise allows us to diagnose problems quickly and implement lasting repairs that prevent recurring issues.
Last February, Jennifer from the Limekiln Pike area called us at 2 AM when her family’s furnace stopped working during a bitter cold snap. With two young children in the house and outside temperatures near 15 degrees, she was panicking. “I called three other companies first, but none of them answered their phones or could come out until the next afternoon,” Jennifer explained. “Central Plumbing answered immediately and had a technician at my door in 45 minutes. He diagnosed a faulty ignition control module and had us back up and running before sunrise. They literally saved our family from a freezing night.”
David, who owns a small office building near Fort Washington Avenue, faced a heating emergency when his building’s boiler failed on the coldest Monday morning of last winter. Previous contractors had told him the system was beyond repair and quoted weeks for replacement. “Mike’s team came out the same day and found that the circulation pump had failed, but the boiler itself was fine,” David said. “They had the part and completed the repair within hours, keeping my tenants comfortable and my business running. Their expertise saved me thousands compared to the unnecessary replacement other companies were pushing.”
Maria from the Keswick Avenue neighborhood had been dealing with inconsistent heating for months, with some rooms staying cold while others overheated. Multiple service calls from another local company hadn’t solved the problem. “Central Plumbing’s technician spent time actually diagnosing the root cause instead of just treating symptoms,” Maria shared. “He found that ductwork connections had loosened over time, reducing airflow to certain zones. The repair was straightforward once properly diagnosed, and now every room in my house stays perfectly comfortable. I wish I had called them first.”

Our NATE-certified technicians have expertise with all major heating system types commonly found in Oreland properties, including natural gas and propane furnaces, electric heat pumps, oil-fired systems, and boiler heating systems. We work on all major brands and handle both newer high-efficiency units and older systems found in the area’s historic homes. Whether you have a traditional forced-air system, radiant heating, or a combination setup, Central Plumbing has the specialized knowledge to diagnose and repair your specific system type.
The decision between heating repair and replacement depends on factors including your system’s age, current efficiency, frequency of breakdowns, and repair costs relative to replacement value. Central Plumbing provides honest assessments based on our 13 years of experience with Montgomery County heating systems. Generally, if your system is under 10 years old and repair costs are less than 50% of replacement cost, repair makes sense. However, if you’re facing frequent breakdowns or dramatically higher energy bills, replacement with a modern high-efficiency system might be more cost-effective long-term.
Regular preventive maintenance is the best way to avoid unexpected heating system failures during Pennsylvania’s harsh winters. Central Plumbing recommends annual heating system tune-ups that include cleaning, inspection, and adjustment of all critical components. Our maintenance service includes checking heat exchangers for cracks, testing safety controls, cleaning burners, inspecting ductwork, and replacing filters. Proper maintenance can reduce emergency breakdowns by up to 70% while improving energy efficiency and extending system life. We also recommend keeping vents clear, changing filters regularly, and addressing unusual noises or odors immediately.
