When a boiler quits in a Leesport rowhome or an older farmhouse out toward Bern Township, you want a heating company that already knows the drive. DeLong & Sons HVAC is based in Shoemakersville, about 10 minutes north of the borough down Route 61, so we reach Leesport, West Leesport, and the 19533 area quickly. We repair, service, and install gas and oil boilers, furnaces, heat pumps, central air, ductless systems, water heaters, and standby generators. Call before 6 PM on a weekday and we will work to get a technician out the same day.
We are a family-owned crew with over 15 years of experience across Berks County. You get upfront pricing before any work begins, online booking through Housecall Pro, and the same faces on every visit. Our shop hours are Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 6 PM, and after-hours emergency service is available for an additional fee.

Follow UsLeesport has a lot of hot-water heat. The older rowhomes along the borough streets and the farmhouses out in Ontelaunee and Bern Townships were often built around boilers and cast-iron radiators, and many of those systems are still running decades later. When they act up, the symptoms are usually easy to spot: a radiator or two that stays cold while the rest of the house heats, a kettling or rumbling sound from the unit, water pooling under the boiler, or a pressure gauge that keeps dropping.
Those problems trace back to a handful of common culprits. Watch for these warning signs before they leave you without heat:
Each of those points to something specific - a stuck circulator pump, trapped air in the loop, a failing expansion tank, a bad zone valve, or a low-water condition. Our technicians diagnose the whole system, not just the part that failed, and explain what we find in plain language before we quote the fix. Get boiler repair handled before a small leak turns into a cold house in the middle of a Berks County winter.
We service gas and oil-fired boilers, and when a unit is past its useful life we handle boiler installation and replacement, including high-efficiency Navien units sized for your home and radiator load. Many Leesport-area homes still run on oil heat, and we perform oil boiler service and cleanings as part of keeping those systems safe and efficient. We will walk you through the trade-offs between repairing an aging boiler and replacing it so the choice is yours.
Not every Leesport home runs on a boiler. Plenty of newer builds and remodeled properties heat with a forced-air gas furnace, and those need attention too - especially on the first hard freeze of the season when a furnace that sat idle all summer refuses to fire. If yours is short-cycling, blowing cool air, tripping its safety lockout, or running up your gas bill, our furnace repair team will track down the fault, whether it is a dirty flame sensor, a failed ignitor, a cracked heat exchanger, or a bad blower motor.
When a furnace has reached the end of the road, we handle furnace installation with efficient AirEase and Heil equipment matched to the size of your home. A properly sized furnace heats more evenly, runs quieter, and costs less to operate than an oversized unit that blasts on and off. We will measure the load, not just swap box for box.
Many Leesport homes run a mix of heating equipment - a boiler in the original part of the house and a furnace or heat pump serving an addition. We work on all of it, so you are not juggling separate companies for separate systems. If your home is somewhere between a repair and a full replacement, we will lay out both paths honestly and let the numbers make the case.
Summer along the Schuylkill Valley gets hot and humid, and a central air system that cannot keep up makes for long afternoons. We provide AC repair for warm-air complaints, weak airflow, iced-over coils, and units that run without cooling. Catching a low refrigerant charge or a struggling compressor early often keeps a repair from turning into a full replacement.
Heat pumps have become a popular choice around Leesport because a single system handles both heating and cooling efficiently, and today's cold-climate models hold up well through a Pennsylvania winter. We install and service them, and for additions, finished attics, or older homes without ductwork, a ductless mini-split installation delivers quiet, zoned comfort without tearing walls apart. A mini-split lets you condition just the rooms you use, which is a practical fit for the older Leesport rowhomes where running new ducts is not realistic. Ask us whether a heat pump installation makes sense for your home before your next system upgrade.
Storms rolling through Berks County take the power with them often enough that a lot of Leesport homeowners have started asking about backup. A Generac standby generator wired to your electrical panel starts automatically when the utility drops, keeping the heat, the sump pump, the refrigerator, and the well pump running until the grid comes back.
The advantage of buying it from a full-service HVAC shop is simple: one contractor handles both your power and your heat. If a winter outage knocks out your boiler and your generator on the same night, you are calling one number, not chasing two companies. A standby generator matters most for the systems you cannot afford to lose - the boiler or furnace keeping pipes from freezing, the sump pump keeping the basement dry, and the well pump keeping water flowing to township homes. We install Generac standby generators sized to what your home actually needs and can fold the unit into your regular maintenance schedule so it starts when you need it. See our whole-home generator options to get started.
The larger lots out in Ontelaunee and Bern Townships are 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 conventional equipment. A geothermal installation is a bigger upfront project, but a federal tax credit currently covers 30 percent of the cost of a qualifying residential system, per the U.S. Department of Energy, which shortens the payback considerably. If you are building or planning a long-term system replacement on a rural Leesport property, ask us whether geothermal fits your lot.
Heating and cooling is only part of keeping a home running. Our plumbing services cover the everyday problems that bring a household to a halt, including:
We install and repair dependable Bradford White tank water heaters and Navien tankless units. If you are tired of running out of hot water, a tank water heater replacement or a tankless upgrade solves it, and we will size the unit to your household so you are not paying to heat water you never use.
Homes outside the borough often run on private wells, and when the pump fails you lose water entirely. Our well pump service covers repair and replacement for the Ontelaunee and Bern Township properties that depend on well water year-round.
DeLong & Sons HVAC started as a family business and still runs like one. Justin DeLong founded the company, and the family name on the truck means the people who answer your call are the same people accountable for the work. We were named a 2024 Nextdoor Neighborhood Fave and are recognized as a Housecall Pro Super Pro, which tells you our neighbors keep coming back.
Because we are just up Route 61 in Shoemakersville, Leesport is close enough that we qualify for same-day service during business hours when you call before 6 PM on a weekday. You get upfront pricing, honest recommendations, and a crew that treats a no-heat call like the problem it is. Read what your neighbors say in our customer reviews.
The cheapest repair is the one you never need. A twice-yearly tune-up keeps a boiler, furnace, or AC running efficiently, catches small problems before they strand you, and protects the manufacturer warranty on newer equipment. Our maintenance plans bundle those seasonal visits, add priority scheduling when the calls stack up in January and July, and can include an oil boiler cleaning for homes on oil heat. It is the easiest way to get more years out of the equipment you already own.
Leesport is a small Berks County borough on the Schuylkill River, best known for the Leesport Farmers Market - a Wednesday institution that has drawn people from across the region for generations. The historic Leesport Lock House on the old Schuylkill Canal is a reminder of the town's role on the waterway that once carried coal down to Reading and Philadelphia.
The borough sits right on the Route 61 corridor, surrounded by Ontelaunee and Bern Townships, with West Leesport just across the way and Blue Marsh Lake about 15 minutes west. Families here are served by the Schuylkill Valley School District. We cover the whole area, from the ZIP 19533 borough streets to the rural township roads, and neighboring towns like Hamburg up the line. Our shop is a short drive south in Shoemakersville.
Whether it is a cold radiator, a furnace that will not fire, an AC that quit in the heat, or a water heater on its last legs, DeLong & Sons HVAC is a short drive up Route 61 from your door. Call before 6 PM on a weekday and we will work to get a technician to your Leesport home the same day. After-hours emergency service is available for an additional fee.
