We work with the full range of fuel sources available to Pittsburghers. If you’re looking to switch fuel types or add one to your heating system, we’ll help you make that happen.
If you’re considering a new heating system, we’ll get you a perfect fit.
Here’s what you can expect when you work with Kowalski to install or replace your HVAC system:
To determine your ideal heating solution, we'll evaluate your heating needs, your experiences with your current system, the possibilities and challenges your home presents, and your budget.
We are specialists in difficult HVAC projects with interesting goals and various obstacles. We take on complex, intricate jobs that others won’t.
We often design multiple heating solutions for you to choose from. We'll try to give you options, and we'll explain all their pros and cons.
We fit your new heating system to your home specifically. This includes all equipment and accessories, all the connections to your ventilation system and heat source, and a zoning plan if it’s appropriate for your new system.
In every installation and replacement project we undertake, we build custom plenums and ductwork to ensure seamless, optimal air flow throughout your home.
We tailor your heating system so that it’s lean, efficient, long-lasting, and in harmony with all the other aspects of your home. Many times we’re able to downsize bulky systems that consume too much energy and space (and too much of your wallet).
Excellent HVAC systems should be invisible, but we build them as though everyone will see them. Plus we carefully remove your old heating system, test every aspect of the new one, and clean our work area when we’re done.
There are some signs it’s time:
If your heating bills have jumped, your system may be losing efficiency. Even the most well-maintained older systems aren’t able to deliver the high efficiency of newer systems.
Consistent, predictable comfort as you move around your house is important. If the temperature in your home varies too much from one room or one level to the next, you may need a system with more tailored, accurate zoning.
Heating systems can last from about 10 to more than 25 years, depending on their type, usage, and maintenance history. If your system is aging, you may want to explore a replacement before it breaks down.
If you’re frequently fixing problems or replacing parts in your heating system, it may be costing you more than a new system would. It may also be a sign that a full breakdown is looming.
This indicates carbon monoxide poisoning, and it’s an emergency. Get everyone out of the house immediately and tend to them. When everyone is safe, give us a call.
If your furnace or other heating system is not operating as it should, we can help.
Here’s what we deliver in every heating repair project:
We’re thorough and precise in determining the causes, symptoms, and outcomes of any problem with your HVAC.
We tell you exactly what we find and recommend the most practical, safe, and cost-effective repair. If we don’t find anything, or can’t recommend a fix, we’ll tell you that too.
We treat your issue with the urgency it demands. We can usually schedule a visit within a few days (sooner if it’s an emergency), and finish repairs in a few hours.
If you’re seeing any of the following, your heating system probably needs attention:
You shouldn’t have to constantly adjust your thermostat. If your home always feels warmer or colder than the reading on the thermostat, it may need to be recalibrated, rewired, or relocated to another part of your home - or your other HVAC equipment may be to blame.
If your heat is kicking on and off too quickly, or if it’s rarely shutting off, you may have a faulty heat exchanger or fan motor, blocked ducts, or filters in need of replacement.
Your heating system should run quietly. Banging, rattling, and squealing indicate problems with the motor, blower assembly, or other components.
Your heating system should never give off a smell. Musty, sulfuric, metallic, burning, or other odors could mean that your system needs a cleaning or full replacement.
Your heat is essential. It’s also supplied by a complex mechanical system that runs often and works hard.
We offer a once-a-year inspection and tune-up service to make sure your heat is always good to go.
