Nestled in the rolling hills of Montgomery County, Furlong represents the perfect blend of rural tranquility and suburban convenience. From the historic properties along Meetinghouse Road to the newer developments near Furlong Elementary School, homeowners throughout this charming community understand the importance of reliable heating systems during Pennsylvania’s harsh winters.
The beautiful countryside setting that makes Furlong so desirable also presents unique heating challenges. Properties near Neshaminy Creek often face humidity issues that can affect system efficiency, while homes in the wooded areas around Cross Roads require robust heating solutions to combat the cold that settles in those shaded valleys.
When your heating system needs professional maintenance to keep your family comfortable all winter long, Central Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning is your trusted local solution. We’ve been serving Montgomery County communities like Furlong for over 13 years, and our NATE-certified technicians understand exactly what it takes to keep heating systems running efficiently in this beautiful area.
At Central Plumbing, we specialize in complete heating maintenance that prevents costly breakdowns and ensures optimal efficiency throughout the heating season. Our NATE-certified technicians provide thorough furnace tune-ups that include complete system inspections, heat exchanger analysis, and combustion chamber cleaning.
Our heating maintenance programs cover all types of systems, from traditional gas furnaces to high-efficiency condensing units, oil-fired systems, and modern heat pump installations. We perform detailed ductwork inspections to identify leaks or restrictions that reduce efficiency, and we clean or replace air filters to maintain proper airflow and indoor air quality.
During every maintenance visit, our technicians check thermostat calibration and programming, inspect gas connections and electrical components for safety, and test all safety controls including limit switches and flame sensors. We analyze combustion efficiency using professional-grade instruments to ensure your system operates at peak AFUE ratings, which can significantly reduce your energy costs.
Our comprehensive service includes blower motor maintenance, belt inspection and adjustment, and lubrication of all moving components. We check refrigerant levels in heat pump systems and inspect outdoor condensing units for proper operation. For boiler systems common in many Furlong historic homes, we perform water level checks, pressure testing, and circulator pump maintenance.
We also evaluate your system’s BTU capacity to ensure proper sizing for your home’s heating load, especially important in the diverse housing stock throughout Furlong. Our technicians are trained in the latest smart thermostat installation and programming, helping homeowners optimize their heating schedules for maximum comfort and efficiency.
Indoor air quality is a crucial component of our maintenance service. We inspect and clean humidification systems that are essential during dry Pennsylvania winters, check ductwork for proper insulation and sealing, and recommend MERV filter upgrades when appropriate for your specific needs.
While other local service providers in Montgomery County may offer basic heating maintenance, Central Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning delivers a level of expertise and service that sets us apart throughout Furlong and surrounding communities.
Our emergency response time of under 60 minutes means that when your heating system fails on the coldest night of winter, you won’t be left waiting hours for help like you might with other area companies. We provide genuine 24/7 emergency service, not just limited evening hours that leave you stranded when you need help most.

This certification ensures that whether you live near the historic properties along Street Road or in the newer developments around Furlong Elementary, you’re getting service from technicians who understand the complexities of modern heating systems.
Our upfront, transparent pricing means you’ll never face the surprise fees and unclear estimates that some other providers in the region are known for. We provide detailed written estimates before beginning any work, and our pricing remains the same whether it’s a routine maintenance call or an emergency repair on Christmas morning.
Many national chain competitors follow rigid corporate policies that don’t account for the unique characteristics of Furlong properties. Our local ownership means we make decisions based on what’s best for each customer, whether that’s working around the narrow access spaces in historic homes or recommending efficiency upgrades that make sense for your specific property and budget.
Our 13 years of exclusive service in Montgomery County has given us deep knowledge of local building codes, permit requirements, and the common heating challenges faced by properties throughout the Meetinghouse Road corridor and beyond. We understand the local infrastructure and have established relationships with suppliers that allow us to provide same-day parts availability that other providers simply can’t match.
Linda from the Windrose development called us last October when her 15-year-old furnace started making unusual noises and wasn’t heating evenly throughout her home. Previous maintenance providers had told her the system was fine, but she wasn’t convinced.
Our technician arrived within 45 minutes and performed a comprehensive inspection that revealed a cracked heat exchanger and several safety concerns that had been missed by other companies. “I’m so grateful Central Plumbing found those problems before winter really hit,” Linda said. “They could have just done a quick tune-up like the other guys, but they actually cared enough to find what was really wrong. Their honesty and thoroughness probably saved my family from a dangerous situation.”
James, who owns several rental properties near Cross Roads, had been frustrated with unreliable service from other local HVAC companies who either didn’t show up as scheduled or provided maintenance that didn’t seem to improve system performance.
“Central Plumbing has been a game-changer for my properties,” James explained. “Their maintenance visits actually prevent problems instead of just checking boxes. My emergency repair calls dropped by 80 percent after I switched to their maintenance program. Their technicians know what they’re doing, and they treat my tenants with the same respect they’d show their own family.”

Central Plumbing recommends annual heating maintenance for all systems, ideally scheduled in early fall before the heating season begins. However, homes in Furlong with older systems or those located in areas with heavy tree coverage may benefit from bi-annual maintenance to address the additional debris and environmental factors common in our wooded community. Our NATE-certified technicians can assess your specific system and location to recommend the optimal maintenance schedule that prevents costly breakdowns and maintains peak efficiency throughout Montgomery County’s challenging winter months.
Many beautiful historic properties throughout Furlong, particularly along Meetinghouse Road, require specialized maintenance approaches due to their unique construction characteristics and often retrofitted heating systems. Central Plumbing has extensive experience working with these properties, understanding how to access systems installed in tight spaces, maintain proper ventilation in older construction, and ensure modern safety standards are met. Our technicians are skilled at identifying issues specific to older homes, such as inadequate ductwork sizing or ventilation concerns that can affect both efficiency and safety.
Absolutely. Our comprehensive heating maintenance programs typically improve system efficiency by 15-20 percent, which translates to significant savings on utility bills throughout Pennsylvania’s long heating season.

Central Plumbing’s maintenance includes optimizing AFUE ratings, ensuring proper airflow, and calibrating thermostats for optimal performance, all of which contribute to lower energy consumption while maintaining consistent comfort throughout your home.
Central Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency heating service throughout Montgomery County, with our typical response time under 60 minutes for Furlong emergencies.
