HVAC Contractor Serving New Britain Township, PA

With a founding date of 1723 and a National Register covered bridge and homestead inside its borders, New Britain has some very old buildings. Alongside them are later subdivisions and postwar houses, and the township's 4,528 housing units have a median owner-occupied value around $464,000.

Homes of the postwar era in this part of Bucks County were often built on oil heat, and where gas is now available at the street, an oil-to-gas conversion is a common project: remove the tank and old burner, connect to the gas line, and size the new furnace or boiler to the house, not to whatever tonnage was there. PECO supplies much of the county's gas, so confirm availability on your street first.

Duct systems sized around an older, larger oil furnace may not suit new equipment, so we check duct capacity and leakage during a conversion. Older panels deserve a look too before adding electric accessories or a heat pump zone.

On an oil-to-gas conversion we start with whether gas is at your street and what the utility needs for a service line. Then we size the new furnace or boiler with a load calculation, plan the tank removal, and schedule the changeover so the house is not left cold between the old and new systems.

On an older forced-air home, we measure static pressure and look for leaky or undersized duct runs, since a cold back bedroom after a new furnace usually points to ducts, not the furnace.

On any HVAC replacement, a building permit is required from the township, so we handle the paperwork as part of the job and confirm what the inspector will want to see.
