Furnace Services
Furnace Services in Berks County, PA
When winter sets in, you just want heat that works, no drama. But as systems age, small issues creep in: rooms that never quite get warm, start-stop cycling, rising utility bills, new rattles at start-up, or a faint burnt smell that lasts longer than the first minute. Those warning signs quickly become pain points, space heaters in hallways, sleepless nights, and the nagging worry about safety.
Here’s the good news: Penn Mechanical Company handles everything furnace-related—installation, repair, and maintenance with licensed technicians, clear pricing, and a process that puts comfort and safety first.
Furnace Install — Warmth You Can Count On, Sized Right
A new furnace should feel invisible: steady temperatures, quiet operation, and lower energy use. We design for that result not just a model number.
What we do differently
- Right-sizing with load calculations:We match capacity to your home so it’s not too big (short cycles) or too small (can’t keep up).
- Ductwork review:We inspect returns, static pressure, and key runs; airflow mistakes sabotage even the best equipment.
- Clean, code-compliant installs:Clearances, venting, gas/electrical connections, and condensate (for high-efficiency) done to spec.
- Comfort add-ons that matter:Smart thermostats, filtration/humidification, and zoning are offered when they genuinely improve results.
Great fit for: aging or unreliable systems, expensive repair histories, home additions, or when comfort and efficiency need a reset.
Furnace Repair. Fast Diagnostics, Fixes That Last
If you’re facing no heat or not enough heat, we move quickly and methodically.
Common issues we resolve
- Ignitors, flame sensors, and control board faults
- Blower/inducer motor failures, belt wear, and capacitor/relay problems
- Safety trips (limit/rollout), temperature-rise out of spec
- Venting and condensate drain blockages on high-efficiency units
- Airflow restrictions from clogged filters or undersized ducts
Our approach
- Verify the symptomand pull fault codes.
- Measure, don’t guess:electrical readings, gas pressures, static pressure, and temperature rise.
- Explain optionsand give a firm, up-front price before work begins.
- Repair and retestfor heat output, safety, and quiet operation.
- Prevent repeat issues with simple, practical tips (filter schedule, airflow tweaks).
Safety note: If a carbon-monoxide alarm sounds or you smell gas, exit the home and contact emergency services or your gas utility. When safe, we’ll inspect and correct the system.
Furnace Maintenance. Fewer Surprises, Better Efficiency
A professional tune-up keeps heat reliable and helps protect warranties. It’s also the easiest way to catch small issues before they become mid-winter breakdowns.
What our tune-up includes (varies by model)
- Safety & controls:limit/rollout checks, wiring integrity, thermostat calibration, full cycle test
- Combustion & heat transfer:burner cleaning/inspection, flame sensor test, verified temperature rise
- Airflow & components:blower wheel inspect/clean as needed, motor amp draw, static pressure reading, filter service
- Venting/condensate (90%+ units):flue and drain inspection, trap cleaning
How often?
- Furnaces:once a year ideally early fall.
- Add a visit if you’ve done renovations or had heavy dust events.
Quick homeowner wins between visits
- Replace/clean filters on schedule (often every 1–3 months)
- Keep returns/supplies unblocked
- Test carbon-monoxide alarms and replace batteries as recommended
Do I Repair or Replace?
As a rule of thumb, if your furnace is younger, with an otherwise clean history, repair is usually smart. If it’s near 12–15 years, has repeated failures, or needs a major part, we’ll compare the true cost of repair vs. replacement so you can choose with confidence—no pressure either way.
