When a furnace quits in Birdsboro, PA, you want a heating company that already knows the borough's older ironworks-era rowhomes and the newer developments out toward Exeter and Amity. DeLong & Sons HVAC is a family-owned heating, cooling, and plumbing company based just up the Schuylkill in Shoemakersville, and we run service calls down the Route 422 and Route 345 corridor into Birdsboro and the surrounding townships every week. We handle furnace repair, AC service, heat pumps, plumbing, and water heaters for homes across ZIP 19508.
Founded by Justin DeLong and run with his family, our crew brings more than 15 years of experience to every job. We service all major brands and install equipment from names like AireEase, Heil, Concord, and Navien. Call 484-638-2837 before 6 PM on a weekday and we will work to get a technician to your Birdsboro home the same day.

Follow UsBirdsboro grew up around its ironworks, and the borough's housing stock still shows it. Rowhomes along streets like Furnace Street were built for coal and later converted to oil or gas heat, and many older homes near Hay Creek run boilers with cast iron radiators. Out in Union and Robeson Townships, oil heat is still common in the stone farmhouses. We service all of it.
Most no-heat calls come down to a dirty filter choking airflow, a failed ignitor or flame sensor, a bad blower motor, or a safety switch that has locked the system out. Our technicians carry a stocked truck so most furnace repairs are finished in a single visit. Call before 6 PM on a weekday and we will work to reach you the same day.
Do not wait on a furnace that is warning you it is in trouble. Call us if you notice any of these:
When a furnace is past 20 years old and repairs are stacking up, replacement is often the smarter spend. We handle high-efficiency furnace installation with AireEase and Heil equipment, and for radiator homes we offer boiler repair and replacement. We also service oil furnaces, which remain common in the older farmhouses around Birdsboro, and an oil cleaning is included in our Heritage maintenance tier.
Summers along the Route 422 corridor turn humid fast, and a straining air conditioner shows it in high bills and rooms that never quite cool. Our team provides fast AC repair for failed capacitors, low refrigerant, frozen coils, and dead compressors. If the system runs but will not cool, shut it off and call us - running a unit with a frozen coil can wreck the compressor and turn a repair into a replacement.
When it is time for a new system, we size and install central air the right way for your home, not just swap the box. We install air conditioning systems from Concord and AireEase, matched to your ductwork and your square footage so you get even cooling without wasting energy. Ask us about pairing a new AC with a furnace replacement to save on a single install.
The older homes near the borough center often have undersized ductwork or window units doing work a central system should handle. We will look at the whole picture, from the condenser outside to the returns inside, and give you a straight answer on whether a repair, a replacement, or a ductless add-on makes the most sense for your Birdsboro home.
The newer developments on the Exeter and Amity side of Birdsboro are a strong fit for heat pumps, which heat and cool from one efficient system. We handle heat pump installation and can walk you through the federal tax credits and utility rebates that may be available for a qualifying high-efficiency system.
For older Birdsboro homes without ductwork, or for that finished attic or addition that never gets comfortable, a ductless mini-split adds zoned heating and cooling without tearing into walls. We install Mitsubishi and Fujitsu ductless systems that let you set different temperatures room by room. They are a practical fit for the borough's stone and plaster-walled homes, where running new duct would mean a major remodel.
Storms rolling through the Schuylkill Valley take the power with them, and an outage in the middle of winter means no heat, no well pump, and a freezer full of thawing food. We install Generac standby generators that switch on automatically when the utility power drops, so your furnace, sump pump, and refrigerator keep running until the grid comes back.
We size the whole-home generator to what your household actually needs, from essential circuits to the entire panel, and handle the install from pad to transfer switch. It is the kind of protection that pays for itself the first time a line goes down, and it runs on natural gas or propane so you are not out refilling gas cans in a storm.
The acreage out in Union and Robeson Townships is well suited to geothermal, which uses the steady temperature of the ground to heat and cool a home at a fraction of the running cost of oil or propane. Properties with room for a horizontal loop field, or a spot for a vertical bore, can trade a rising fuel bill for one of the most efficient systems available.
Geothermal systems currently qualify for a 30% federal tax credit on the installed cost, which takes a serious bite out of the up-front investment. We handle geothermal installation from loop design through the heat pump inside, and we will give you honest numbers on payback before you commit. For a rural property already paying to truck in oil or propane, the long-term math often favors going underground.
DeLong & Sons is a plumbing company as well as a heating and cooling company, which matters in a borough where a lot of the older homes still have original cast iron drain lines and aging supply pipe. We handle leak detection and repair, fixture upgrades, and water heater work for homes throughout Birdsboro. See our full plumbing services for the complete list.
For a standard hot water setup, we install and service tank water heaters from Bradford White, a name built for the hard water and long service life that Berks County homes need.
If you want endless hot water and a smaller footprint, we install Navien tankless water heaters that heat on demand and free up floor space in the basement. We will help you weigh tank against tankless for your household's real usage.
Common plumbing work we handle for Birdsboro homes includes:
We are a family business. Justin DeLong started the company, and the same family name that answers the phone shows up at your door. That means the crew you meet on a furnace repair is the crew you will see again for the AC tune-up, and you get clear, upfront pricing before any work begins.
Homeowners in the area have taken notice - we were voted a 2024 Nextdoor Neighborhood Fave and carry Housecall Pro Super Pro recognition for our service record. When the heat or AC quits, we offer same-day service during business hours, with after-hours emergency service available for an additional fee. You can read what neighbors say on our reviews page.
The cheapest repair is the one you never need. Our maintenance plans start at $10 a month and are built to keep your equipment running longer and cheaper. A plan gets you:
For Birdsboro's oil-heated homes, the Heritage tier includes an annual oil cleaning to keep the system running clean through winter. Regular maintenance catches small problems before they leave you without heat on the coldest night of the year.
Birdsboro sits in southern Berks County where the Hay Creek meets the Schuylkill, in the heart of Daniel Boone country. The Daniel Boone Homestead is just to the north, and Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site preserves the ironmaking heritage in the hills to the south. The Hay Creek Valley and its fall Hay Creek Festival, the Schuylkill River Trail, and the trails of the Birdsboro Preserve draw people outdoors all year, and local families send their kids through the Daniel Boone Area School District.
The housing runs from 1800s ironworks-era rowhomes in the borough to newer developments on the Exeter edge, which means we see everything from radiator boilers to modern high-efficiency systems. From our shop just north in Shoemakersville, we also serve nearby Oley and much of Berks, Lebanon, and Lehigh Counties.
Whether your furnace quit on a cold morning, your AC is struggling through a July heat wave, or you are planning a heat pump, generator, or geothermal upgrade, our family crew is ready to help. Call before 6 PM on a weekday and we will work to get a technician to your Birdsboro home the same day. After-hours emergency service is available for an additional fee.
