Heating Services in Philadelphia & New Jersey

Heating problems in this region tend to surface on the same night: the first hard freeze, when a furnace that limped through last winter finally will not light. Synergy3 Home Solutions has been a family-run heating, cooling, plumbing, and insulation company in Philadelphia since 2006, and heating is half of what our NATE-certified technicians do, on furnaces, boilers, heat pumps and ductless systems alike.

This page routes you to the right service rather than selling you one. Below is what we do on the heating side, how the process works and where we cover. If you are not sure which page you need, call 267-802-3026 and describe what the system is doing. We diagnose before quoting and put the price in writing before any work begins.

Our Heating Services

Furnace Repair

No heat, short cycling, cold air from the vents, or noises that were not there last season. We find the actual failure instead of guessing at it, quote it in writing, and carry the common parts on the truck so most repairs finish on the first visit. See Furnace Repair.

Furnace Replacement and Installation

When a furnace is old enough that repairs stop being the cheaper option, we size the replacement to the house, handle removal of the old unit and give you good, better and best options with prices in writing. Estimates are free and financing is available with approved credit. See Furnace Replacement.

Systems We Heat Homes With

Housing here ranges from century-old rowhomes on steam and hot water to new construction on heat pumps, so the equipment we service varies just as widely.

• Furnaces. The most common system in the region and the one behind most no-heat calls in January.
• Boilers. Hot water and steam systems in older homes, where the problem is as often the distribution, the radiators, valves and circulator, as the boiler itself.
• Heat pumps. One system that heats and cools, and increasingly the default on replacement. Because it runs year-round, it wants service twice a year rather than once.
• Ductless mini-splits. Heating and cooling for homes without ductwork, finished attics, additions and rooms the main system never reached.

Signs Your Heating System Needs Attention

• The house never reaches the thermostat setting, or some rooms stay cold
• Cool air from the vents while the system is calling for heat
• The system turns on and off every few minutes
• Banging, rattling or screeching at startup
• A burning or gas-like smell when the heat kicks on
• Radiators that stay cold, or knocking pipes on a hot water system
• Heating bills climbing without a change in how you use the system
• The furnace is 15 years or older and repairs are becoming routine

How We Work

• Diagnosis first. A technician tests the system and identifies what failed. We do not quote a heating repair from a phone description.
• Written price before the work. You see the number and approve it before anything starts, with good, better and best options on replacements.
• Same-day dispatch where the schedule allows. No-heat calls are prioritized. Our hours are Monday to Friday 7am to 7pm, and Saturday 7am to 3pm during peak season.
• Free estimates on replacement. If a repair is not worth the money, we say so and quote the replacement at no charge so you can compare both numbers.

Equipment We Install

We install Bryant Evolution and Preferred heating equipment, and Bosch boilers on the hydronic side. Evolution is the higher-efficiency, variable-capacity line for the lowest running cost and quietest operation; Preferred covers dependable mid-range systems at a lower installed price. Which fits depends on the house, the existing distribution and how long you plan to stay, which is a conversation for the estimate. The detail lives on the individual service pages.

We service equipment from other installers and most major brands. On a repair-or-replace decision, the age and condition of the system matter far more than the badge on the cabinet.

Heating Service Areas

We dispatch heating work from offices in Philadelphia and New Jersey, covering Greater Philadelphia along with much of South and Central Jersey. Frequently served areas include Philadelphia, Conshohocken, Jenkintown and Bensalem in Pennsylvania, and Cherry Hill and Haddonfield in New Jersey. The full list is on our Service Areas page. If your town is not on it, call and ask, because we often cover it.

Cooling is handled by the same team from the same trucks, which matters on heat pumps. See Air Conditioning Services for the summer side.

Why Philadelphia and New Jersey Homeowners Choose Synergy3 Home Solutions

Synergy3 Home Solutions opened in Philadelphia in 2006 and is still family-run, coming up on 20 years of servicing heating systems in this region. Our technicians are NATE-certified, the industry credential that requires proving competence on real equipment rather than sitting through a class.

More than 2,000 customers and a 4.9-star average across 500+ Google reviews is the record behind that. It comes from arriving when we said we would, explaining the failure in plain language and pricing the work before doing it. Heating, cooling, plumbing, and insulation under one company also means that when a cold room turns out to be an insulation problem rather than a furnace problem, we can say so and fix the right thing.

Common Heating Problems We Fix

Most winter calls come down to a short list of failures, and knowing which one you are describing helps us arrive with the right part.

No Heat at All

The thermostat calls and nothing happens, or the blower runs without heat. On a furnace this is usually a failed igniter, a dirty flame sensor, a gas supply issue or a safety lockout after repeated failed ignition attempts. On a boiler it is more often the circulator, an air-bound system or a control fault.

Short Cycling

The system starts, runs briefly, shuts down and repeats. Restricted filters, blocked flues, a failing limit switch and equipment oversized for the house all cause it. It burns fuel without warming the house and is hard on every moving part.

Cold Rooms and Cold Radiators

On ducted systems this usually means airflow: blocked or undersized returns, crushed duct, closed dampers. On hot water systems it is more often air in the radiators or a valve that is no longer opening. Occasionally the real answer is insulation rather than heat, which is worth knowing before buying a bigger furnace.

Noise and Smells

Banging on ignition, screeching at startup or a burning smell that does not clear after the first day of the season are all worth a call. So is a yellow burner flame where it should be blue.

Our Guarantees

Heating installations carry a one-year parts and labor warranty on top of the manufacturer warranty, which we register on your behalf, and a 365-day satisfaction guarantee. Technicians on your job are NATE-certified, and our BPI-certified crews can tell when a cold room is a building problem rather than an equipment problem. If you would rather not be making these calls at all, our Bee Protected Plan starts at $150 per year and includes a 17-point tune-up plus priority scheduling.
