When winter winds whip through the historic neighborhoods around Richardson Park or summer heat bears down on the beautiful homes near Core Creek Park, homeowners throughout Langhorne know that reliable heating and cooling isn’t just about comfort—it’s about keeping your family safe and your home protected. The charming mix of established neighborhoods around Maple Point Middle School and newer developments throughout this Montgomery County community each present their own unique HVAC challenges.
Whether you’re dealing with an aging furnace in one of the classic homes near downtown or struggling with an undersized air conditioning system in a newer construction, these heating and cooling emergencies don’t wait for convenient business hours. That’s where Central Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning comes in as your trusted local solution.
For over 13 years, we’ve been serving homeowners and businesses throughout Montgomery County, building a reputation for incredibly fast response times—usually under 60 minutes—and the kind of upfront, transparent pricing that means no surprises on your bill. You can find us at https://centralplumbinghvac.com/, and we’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week because we understand that a broken air conditioner during a Pennsylvania heatwave or a failed furnace on the coldest night of winter can quickly become dangerous.
Our NATE-certified technicians bring decades of combined experience to every heating and cooling challenge in Langhorne. We understand that modern HVAC systems are sophisticated networks of components that require expert knowledge of everything from refrigerant systems to ductwork design, and we’re equipped to handle it all with precision and care.
When your air conditioning system fails during those brutal Montgomery County summers, our emergency cooling services get your family comfortable fast. We work with all types of central air systems, from traditional split systems to high-efficiency variable-speed units, and we’re experts in both R-410A refrigerant systems and the latest environmentally-friendly alternatives. Our technicians understand SEER ratings inside and out, helping you choose replacement equipment that dramatically reduces energy costs while keeping your home perfectly comfortable.
Our heating system expertise covers the full spectrum of Pennsylvania home heating solutions. We install, repair, and maintain gas furnaces with AFUE ratings up to 98 percent efficiency, heat pump systems that provide both heating and cooling, and boiler systems for homes with radiant heat or baseboard systems. Whether you need a complete furnace replacement or emergency repair service when your heat exchanger fails, our team responds quickly with the tools and parts needed to restore warmth to your home.
We also specialize in ductwork inspection and cleaning services that many homeowners overlook but that dramatically impact both comfort and energy efficiency. Leaky or poorly-designed ductwork can waste up to 30 percent of your heating and cooling energy, and our thorough ductwork evaluation identifies these problems before they cost you hundreds in utility bills.
Modern thermostat technology has revolutionized home comfort control, and we install everything from programmable thermostats to smart WiFi-enabled systems that learn your family’s schedule and adjust temperatures automatically. These systems can reduce energy usage by up to 15 percent while ensuring you never come home to an uncomfortable house.
Indoor air quality has become increasingly important to Langhorne families, especially those dealing with allergies or respiratory sensitivities. We install comprehensive air purification systems, whole-house humidifiers for dry winter air, and dehumidifiers that prevent moisture problems during humid Pennsylvania summers. Our MERV-rated filtration systems remove everything from dust and pollen to microscopic particles that can affect your family’s health.
HVAC emergencies don’t follow business hours, and neither do we. Our 24/7 emergency heating and cooling services ensure that when your furnace dies at midnight in January or your air conditioner fails during a weekend heatwave, help is just a phone call away. Our emergency response team typically arrives in under 60 minutes, equipped with diagnostic tools and common repair parts to get your system running again as quickly as possible.
We also understand that sometimes emergency repairs aren’t enough, and a complete system replacement is the only safe and cost-effective solution. Our next-day installation capabilities mean you won’t be left without heating or cooling for days while waiting for a new system. We stock ENERGY STAR certified equipment from leading manufacturers, ensuring that even emergency replacements deliver the efficiency and reliability your family deserves.
After 13 years of serving Montgomery County communities, we’ve learned what really matters to local families and businesses, and we’ve built our entire service philosophy around delivering what other local service providers often promise but rarely deliver consistently.
While many HVAC companies in the region may quote response times of several hours or even days for service calls, our under-60-minute emergency response time means you’re never left uncomfortable for long. Unlike some area providers who send technicians from outside the region, our team knows Langhorne inside and out. We understand the common heating and cooling challenges in homes near Richardson Park, the unique requirements of older properties throughout the historic downtown area, and the specific needs of newer developments that require different service approaches.
Our NATE-certified technicians represent the industry’s gold standard for HVAC expertise. While other companies may employ technicians with minimal certification, NATE certification requires rigorous testing that proves real-world knowledge of installation, maintenance, and repair procedures. This means our technicians don’t just guess at solutions—they diagnose problems accurately and fix them right the first time.
Pricing transparency sets us apart from competitors who may surprise customers with hidden fees or unclear billing. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins, ensuring you know exactly what you’re paying for every service. You won’t find the overtime charges, diagnostic fees, or mysterious “administrative costs” that some local competitors add to their bills.
As a locally-owned and operated business, we make decisions based on what’s best for our customers and our community, not corporate policies dictated from headquarters in another state. When you call Central Plumbing, you’re talking to neighbors who live and work in these same Montgomery County communities and who stake our reputation on every job we complete.
Our preventive maintenance programs have been proven to reduce emergency breakdowns by up to 70 percent while extending equipment life and maintaining peak efficiency. While some companies treat maintenance as an afterthought, we’ve developed comprehensive programs that catch small problems before they become expensive emergencies.
Last summer, Jennifer from the neighborhoods near Core Creek Park called us in a panic when her central air system failed completely during a week of 95-degree temperatures. Her previous HVAC company had quoted a three-day wait for service and wanted to charge emergency fees that would have doubled the cost. “Central Plumbing had a technician at my house in 45 minutes, even on a Saturday afternoon,” Jennifer told us. “He diagnosed the problem quickly, explained exactly what was wrong and what it would cost to fix, and had us back to comfortable temperatures within two hours. The price was exactly what he quoted, with no surprises.”
David, who manages several rental properties around Maple Point Middle School, faced a heating emergency when a tenant’s furnace stopped working completely during a January cold snap. “I’d used other local companies before, but they either didn’t answer their phones or wanted to charge outrageous weekend rates,” he explained. “Central Plumbing not only responded immediately on a Sunday morning, but their technician discovered that the previous repair company had installed the wrong size heat exchanger. They fixed it properly and actually saved me money compared to what I’d been quoted elsewhere.”
When Maria’s heat pump system in one of the established neighborhoods near downtown began making loud noises and losing efficiency, her utility bills skyrocketed while her comfort disappeared. “The Central Plumbing technician was incredibly thorough,” she shared. “He didn’t just fix the immediate problem—he showed me how poor maintenance by another company had caused several other issues. They got everything working perfectly and set me up on a maintenance plan so this won’t happen again. My energy bills dropped by almost 30 percent the very next month.”
This is one of the most common questions we hear from Langhorne homeowners, especially those dealing with aging systems in some of the area’s older homes. Generally, if your system is over 10 years old and requires frequent repairs, replacement often makes more financial sense than continuing to invest in an aging system. Our NATE-certified technicians provide honest assessments that consider factors like repair costs versus replacement costs, energy efficiency improvements with newer systems, and the likelihood of future breakdowns. We’ll never pressure you into a replacement if a repair will provide reliable service, but we’ll also explain when replacement will save you money in the long run.
Proper system sizing is critical for both comfort and efficiency, and it’s something many companies get wrong by simply using square footage calculations. Central Plumbing performs detailed load calculations that consider your home’s insulation levels, window types and placement, ceiling heights, local climate patterns, and even the number of occupants. An oversized system will short-cycle and waste energy while failing to control humidity properly. An undersized system will run constantly and never achieve comfortable temperatures. Our thorough sizing process ensures your new system operates at peak efficiency while maintaining perfect comfort year-round.
Pennsylvania’s extreme seasonal temperature swings make regular maintenance absolutely essential for system reliability and efficiency. We recommend professional maintenance twice yearly—once in spring before cooling season begins and once in fall before heating season starts. Our comprehensive maintenance includes cleaning and inspecting all system components, checking refrigerant levels, testing safety controls, lubricating moving parts, and identifying potential problems before they cause breakdowns. Customers on our maintenance plans experience 70 percent fewer emergency calls and see equipment life extended by an average of 5-7 years compared to systems that don’t receive regular professional care.
Absolutely, and this is where our 13 years of local experience really shows. Langhorne’s mix of historic homes and newer developments requires technicians who understand both older systems and cutting-edge technology. We regularly work on everything from vintage boiler systems in downtown’s classic homes to the latest variable-speed heat pump systems in newer developments. Our team understands local building codes and permit requirements, and we have extensive experience retrofitting modern, efficient HVAC systems into older homes that weren’t originally designed for central air. Whether you need to preserve the character of a historic property or maximize efficiency in new construction, Central Plumbing has the expertise to design and install the perfect solution.
