Heating & Air Conditioning in Milford Square, PA

A mill village like this tends to have older frame and stone houses on the main roads, with later houses and farm properties spread out beyond. Older homes of that type often carry decades of heating changes, so the first thing we do is trace what feeds the system: gas, propane or oil.

UGI serves Milford Township, but gas mains follow specific roads. Where there is no main, propane and oil furnaces and boilers need closer attention than an in-town gas system: an annual tune-up, tank levels watched so the house does not run dry in January, and a look for soot, poor combustion or a tired heat exchanger.

Houses near a creek bottom can have damp basements, which is hard on cabinet furnaces, oil tanks and anything electrical sitting on the floor. Older oil equipment can also develop venting or heat exchanger problems slowly, so a carbon monoxide check is worth doing on any rural house you are buying or have never had serviced.

When a furnace runs long cycles without warming the house, we check the heat exchanger, the burners or nozzle, the filter, airflow and the thermostat. On propane and oil units, a worn exchanger or dirty combustion can also show up first as a higher fuel bill.

For a carbon monoxide inspection we test at the flue and around the equipment, look over the chimney or vent connection, and check the heat exchanger and draft. We tell you what we found and whether anything needs attention before winter.

If you are weighing propane against oil or a heat pump, we look at the equipment you have, the electrical service, and whether UGI has a main on your road, then give a written estimate for each practical option.
