You can count on our team at https://centralplumbinghvac.com/ to deliver the fast, professional service that keeps your home comfortable through every Pennsylvania season.
Our NATE-certified technicians provide complete heating and cooling solutions throughout Oreland, with specialized expertise in thermostat installation that can transform how you control your home’s comfort. Modern thermostat technology offers incredible advances over older systems, and we help homeowners choose and install the perfect solution for their specific needs and lifestyle.
Smart thermostat installation has become one of our most popular services because these advanced systems learn your schedule, adjust automatically for maximum efficiency, and can be controlled remotely through your smartphone. We install leading brands with features like geofencing that adjusts temperature when you leave or return home, multi-zone control for larger homes, and energy usage reports that help you optimize your utility bills.
Programmable thermostat installation provides similar benefits with preset scheduling that automatically adjusts temperatures throughout the day and night. These systems can reduce energy consumption by up to 10% annually while maintaining perfect comfort levels. Our technicians carefully calibrate these systems to work seamlessly with your existing HVAC equipment, whether you have a traditional furnace and central air system, heat pump, or ductless mini-split configuration.
Beyond thermostat installation, we provide comprehensive air conditioning installation, repair, and replacement services for all system types. Our team expertly handles central air conditioning systems, ductless mini-splits, and heat pumps, ensuring proper sizing based on BTU capacity calculations and your home’s specific cooling load requirements. We work with high-efficiency units featuring impressive SEER ratings that dramatically reduce energy costs while providing superior comfort.
Our heating system services include furnace installation, repair, and maintenance for both gas and electric systems. We service and install boilers, heat pumps, and dual-fuel systems that provide optimal efficiency throughout Pennsylvania’s varying winter conditions. Our preventive maintenance programs can reduce emergency breakdowns by up to 70% while extending system life and maintaining peak efficiency ratings measured by AFUE standards.
Indoor air quality solutions represent another crucial aspect of our comprehensive HVAC services. We install and service air purifiers, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers that work in conjunction with properly calibrated thermostats to maintain ideal comfort conditions. Our ductwork inspection and cleaning services ensure your system distributes conditioned air effectively throughout your home.
We handle refrigerant services professionally, including proper disposal of older refrigerants and charging systems with modern R-410A refrigerant. Our emergency HVAC services operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because we understand that heating failures during Pennsylvania winters or cooling system breakdowns during summer heat waves require immediate professional attention.
Variable-speed motors, two-stage heating and cooling systems, heat exchangers, condensers, and ENERGY STAR certified equipment all factor into our comprehensive approach to home comfort. Every installation includes proper system sizing, MERV filter selection for optimal air quality, and thorough testing to ensure peak performance and efficiency.

We provide detailed estimates before beginning any work, whether it’s emergency repairs near Oreland Station or comprehensive system installations in the neighborhoods around Limekiln Pike. You’ll never face unexpected charges or pressure tactics that some area providers unfortunately employ.

Jennifer from the Highland Avenue neighborhood called us last January when her smart thermostat stopped communicating with her heating system during a brutal cold snap. “I tried troubleshooting for hours, but the house kept getting colder. I called Central Plumbing at 11 PM, and Mike’s team was at my door in 45 minutes. They quickly diagnosed a wiring issue from the previous installation and had everything working perfectly within an hour. I couldn’t believe how fast and professional they were, especially compared to the company that originally installed it and told me it would be three days before they could even look at it.”
Robert, who owns a historic colonial near the Wissahickon Creek, contacted us last summer for a complete HVAC upgrade and smart thermostat installation. “My old system was original to the house and completely inefficient. Central Plumbing designed a solution that preserved the historic character while adding modern comfort and smart controls. The installation was flawless, and my energy bills dropped by 40% immediately. Other contractors wanted to tear apart original woodwork, but Mike’s team found creative solutions that protected my home’s character.”
Sarah from one of the developments near Sandy Run Middle School reached out during a scorching July day when her central air failed completely. “With two young kids, I was panicking about the heat. Central Plumbing had a technician here within an hour who quickly identified a failed capacitor and had us cooling again in no time. He also installed a new programmable thermostat that’s saving us money every month. The previous company we called said they couldn’t come out for two days – thank goodness we found Central Plumbing instead.”
The ideal thermostat depends on your specific HVAC system, home layout, and lifestyle preferences. For most Oreland homeowners, we recommend smart thermostats that offer remote control, learning capabilities, and energy optimization features.

Programmable thermostats provide excellent value for families with consistent schedules, while basic programmable models work well for simpler systems. Our NATE-certified technicians assess your current system, home size, and comfort preferences to recommend the perfect solution.
