When it comes to HVAC upgrades in Jenkintown, we specialize in transforming outdated, inefficient systems into modern marvels of comfort and efficiency. Our NATE-certified technicians bring extensive expertise in high-efficiency air conditioning installation, featuring units with SEER ratings of 16 to 25 that can reduce cooling costs by up to 40 percent compared to older systems.
Our heating system upgrades encompass everything from high-efficiency gas furnaces with AFUE ratings exceeding 95 percent to advanced heat pump installations that provide both heating and cooling with remarkable efficiency. Weβre experts in ductless mini-split systems that offer zone-controlled comfort perfect for additions, converted spaces, or homes where traditional ductwork installation would be challenging.
Smart thermostat integration represents a crucial component of any comprehensive HVAC upgrade. We install and configure programmable and WiFi-enabled thermostats that learn your familyβs schedule and preferences, automatically adjusting temperatures for maximum comfort and minimum energy waste. These systems can reduce heating and cooling costs by an additional 10 to 15 percent beyond what high-efficiency equipment alone provides.
Indoor air quality upgrades often accompany our HVAC system installations, including whole-house air purifiers with HEPA filtration, UV light sterilization systems, and humidity control solutions featuring humidifiers and dehumidifiers that maintain optimal moisture levels year-round. We also specialize in ductwork upgrades, including complete duct replacement, professional sealing, and insulation improvements that can increase system efficiency by 20 percent or more.
Our boiler upgrade services cater to the many Jenkintown homes that rely on hydronic heating systems. We install high-efficiency condensing boilers with modulating burners that adjust output based on actual heating demands, dramatically reducing gas consumption while providing consistent, comfortable warmth throughout your home.
Variable-speed motor technology features prominently in our upgrade recommendations, providing quieter operation, better humidity control, and improved air circulation compared to traditional single-speed systems. We also offer two-stage heating and cooling systems that operate at lower capacity most of the time, cycling to full capacity only when extreme weather demands maximum output.

Margaret, who lives in a beautiful 1920s colonial near Rydal Road, was spending nearly $400 monthly on heating bills during Pennsylvaniaβs harsh winter months. Her 25-year-old furnace was cycling constantly but barely maintaining comfortable temperatures throughout her home.
When Margaret called us last November during an early cold snap, our technician arrived within 45 minutes for her emergency consultation. We discovered her old furnace was operating at just 65 percent efficiency, and her original ductwork was leaking heated air into unconditioned spaces.
βI couldnβt believe how quickly they responded, and the upgrade proposal was so detailed and clear,β Margaret shared. βThe new high-efficiency furnace and sealed ductwork have cut my heating bills by more than half, and my whole house stays perfectly comfortable now.β

βCentral Plumbing understood exactly what I needed,β David explained. βThe system learns our schedule automatically, pre-cools the house before we get home, and I can monitor and adjust everything from anywhere. Itβs exactly what other companies said couldnβt be done.β

Most Jenkintown homeowners see immediate energy savings of 30 to 50 percent after upgrading to modern, high-efficiency HVAC systems. The exact savings depend on your current systemβs age and condition, your homeβs size and insulation, and which efficiency ratings you choose for your new equipment. Our team provides detailed energy savings projections during your free consultation, showing you exactly how different upgrade options will impact your monthly utility bills. With Central Plumbingβs expertise in sizing and installing systems properly, many customers recover their investment costs within 3 to 5 years through energy savings alone.
Absolutely. Central Plumbing specializes in upgrading HVAC systems in Jenkintownβs historic and older homes using innovative solutions that minimize disruption to your propertyβs character and structure. We often recommend ductless mini-split systems for homes where installing traditional ductwork would be invasive or impossible. For homes with existing ductwork, we can usually upgrade to high-efficiency equipment using the current infrastructure, though we may recommend duct sealing or insulation improvements for optimal performance. Our 13 years of experience in Montgomery County means we understand how to work within the unique constraints of older architecture while delivering modern comfort and efficiency.
The decision between upgrading components versus complete system replacement depends on your current equipmentβs age, condition, and efficiency levels. If your system is less than 10 years old, strategic upgrades like smart thermostats, air quality improvements, or ductwork enhancements might be most cost-effective. Systems older than 15 years typically benefit more from complete replacement with modern, high-efficiency equipment. Central Plumbing provides honest assessments of your current system and detailed cost-benefit analyses for all upgrade options, ensuring you make the decision that maximizes comfort and value for your specific situation and budget.
Most complete HVAC system upgrades in Jenkintown homes can be completed within 1 to 3 days, depending on the complexity of the installation and any additional work like ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades. Central Plumbing schedules installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine, and we often provide temporary heating or cooling solutions during the upgrade process. Our NATE-certified technicians work efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards, and we coordinate all necessary permits and inspections to ensure your upgrade meets all local Montgomery County building codes. Weβll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect throughout the upgrade process.
