When to Consider a New Heating System
Heating in Pennsylvania can represent a significant portion of your household upkeep costs. Heating systems can also cost more to operate as they get older or when they malfunction. That’s why we encourage homeowners to monitor their electric and fuel bills month to month and year to year. We even install smart thermostats that can monitor usage for you. When your usage goes up as a system ages, it’s time to consider replacing it. Our team can often help our customers reduce their month-to-month heating costs by as much as 30%.
- Irregular system cycling
- Uneven heated air distribution
- Current system older than 15 years
- Major non-covered repairs required
- Poor indoor air quality during winter
- Frequent small repairs adding up to big costs
Heating Systems We Install
There are many heating options that are viable choices for homes in our service areas, including high-efficiency furnace installation. A condensing furnace, for instance, will lower fuel consumption by at least 10% over a standard model. We also install dual-fuel heat pumps, which are often a best-of-both-worlds solution. Standard heat pumps are 300% to 400% efficient and often much cheaper to run than a furnace. When it gets too cold for the air-source heat pump to be efficient, the system will activate the auxiliary furnace instead.
- Ductwork
- Heat pumps
- Steam boilers
- Electric furnaces
- Hot water boilers
- Fuel-fired furnaces
- Ductless mini-splits
- Radiant floor heating
- Hybrid heating systems
- Programmable and smart thermostats
Our Heating Installation Services
Our team will explore all of the heating technologies available and help you choose the ideal one for your home. If necessary, we can perform conversions, including electric to gas and furnace to heat pump. Once we know the heating type, the next step is to size it accurately. Proper sizing is the key to minimizing your heating costs over the life of the new equipment. To do that, we’ll perform a custom load calculation. It will account for your home’s location, floor plan, square footage, ceiling heights, building envelope, and more.

- Custom load calculations
- Product selection guidance

New System Installation
Selecting the right heating system for your installation often comes down to weighing upfront costs against potential long-term savings. Opting for a high-efficiency model for your heat pump installation will certainly cost more up front. That said, it can save you money in the end. We’ll help you strike the right balance between added costs and realistic savings. That includes exploring the various energy incentives that may be available. Homeowners can often take advantage of a non-refundable federal tax credit. For ENERGY STAR heating systems, there are often rebates available through local utility companies and other sources.
Heating Replacement
We make the heating replacement process as simple as possible for our customers. Our team oversees all aspects of acquiring the necessary equipment and permits. We’ll arrive on time with everything needed to complete the installation. The typical furnace installation takes between four and six hours. We’ll remove all the old equipment and handle the disposal. Our technicians will prep the location sites and then carry out an installation per all manufacturer warranty requirements. We’ll show you how to use your new equipment and perform a final walkthrough before cleaning up and leaving.
