Residential & Commercial Heater Installation Services
Every heater eventually reaches a point where a repair is no longer an option. If your heater is more than 30 years old, it is very likely that it has reached the end of its lifespan. Simply repairing an older unit is akin to flushing money down the toilet. That’s because, as soon as you solve one problem, another appears. When it’s time for a new heater installation, rely on Horn Plumbing & Heating’s HVAC technicians. We are pleased to provide boiler, heat pump, and furnace installation & replacement services to businesses and homeowners in the Pennsylvania counties of Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery. Contact us right away for a free, no-obligation estimate.
Upgrade Your Energy Efficiency with a New Furnace
One of the most significant advantages of installing a new furnace is the amount of money you can save. While replacing your residential or commercial furnace will cost more upfront, it will save you money in the long run because it is much more energy efficient. Furnace manufacturers are constantly improving the energy efficiency of their models. If your heating system is more than a decade old, it is less energy efficient than newer units on the market today.
Replace Your Furnace with a Two-Stage or Variable-Speed Furnace
If you’re considering a new furnace installation, you can further improve the energy efficiency of your unit by upgrading it to a two-stage or variable-speed furnace. Many old homes and businesses are equipped with a single-stage furnace which are the least energy efficient. This means that, regardless of the temperature outside, the unit will always cycle in order to maintain your desired temperature.
Instead, a two-stage furnace has two levels of heat output instead of one. These are ideal for mild winter days and colder winter nights respectively. The most energy-efficient option, however, is a variable-speed furnace. This type of heater uses less energy as it precisely controls the heated air flow throughout your home. They run all of the time, but at a much lower setting which is not only quieter but also more energy efficient as your heater doesn’t have to work overtime as it continues to cycle on and off.
When Is It Time for a New Heater Installation?
If you haven’t replaced your home or business heater in decades, it’s probably time to think about your options. If you’ve noticed any of the following problems, it’s a sign that your heater is nearing the end of its life. It’s always a good idea to start requesting heater installation quotes as soon as possible so your unit doesn’t break down unexpectedly. As a result, you may rush to replace it without having time to thoroughly vet the heating and cooling company that will install it. You may also miss out on the opportunity to thoroughly research the type of heating system you want or to consider switching to a more energy-efficient fuel source.
1. Heater is 10-15 Years Old
If your heating system is more than ten years old, it’s time to replace it. After 15 years, heaters typically become significantly less efficient. When they outlive their useful life, they become more prone to problems.
2. Higher Energy Bills
A furnace or any heating system becomes less efficient as it ages. This means it has to work harder to keep your home warm during the winter. If your energy bills are unusually high, it’s likely that you need a new heater installation.
3. Heater Repair Is Required Frequently
If your heater has required frequent repairs in the last few years, it is time to replace it. Heating systems are designed to be repair-free with regular maintenance and annual tune-ups.
4. Odd Smells or Noises Occurring
Strange smells and noises coming from your system are usually the first signs that you need heater installation & replacement services. Noises such as grinding or clunking are not normal. Similarly, unusual burning odors may indicate a serious problem that requires the attention of a professional.
5. An Increase in Dust
Your heating system is designed to filter unwanted particles from the air, such as dust. When you notice dust collecting around the unit or more dust than normal throughout your home, it means that your system is struggling with air regulation and filtration.
6. Your Heater Isn’t Keeping You Warm
Your heater system’s primary goal is to keep you warm during the winter. If it fails to perform that one task, something is seriously wrong with the unit. If it’s an older unit, it’s probably time to think about replacing it.

Heating Systems We Replace
During the frigid fall and winter months, you rely on your home’s heating system almost every day. If it fails and you require heater installation & replacement services, you can count on Horn to be there for you. We install and replace the following types of residential and commercial heaters.
Furnaces
The majority of homes in Pennsylvania use forced-air heating, which heats the air with natural gas, propane, or electricity. The device then employs a fan to disperse the warm air around your home. Have your furnace inspected before requesting a price for an installation & replacement to confirm that a repair would not solve your problem.
Hydronic Boilers
A hydronic boiler system is another viable alternative. This system provides heat during cold times by using hot water heated by a boiler. The benefit of hydronic boilers is that they are a dust-free and allergen-free way to heat your house, but they do require annual maintenance.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps, despite their name, do not produce heat. Instead, they distribute heat to warm your home or place of business. They accomplish this by absorbing heat from the outside air or ground and transferring it inside your home to replace the cold air. Because the reverse occurs in the summer, this is an excellent year-round option.
Regular Maintenance Protects Your Heating System
Invest in regular maintenance to avoid the need for frequent heating repair services. Your heater, like any machine, will require regular maintenance to stay in operating order. Horn Plumbing & Heating can assist you with this through our annual and biannual HVAC maintenance contracts.
