Safety comes before the service call
If you smell gas, see soot, or suspect carbon monoxide, leave the building immediately, call 911 or your gas utility from outside, and do not restart the furnace or boiler. Treat it as a life-safety event, not a routine repair.
No heat, no cooling, or short cycling
Set the thermostat to the needed mode, replace the filter only if it is visibly clogged, and note any error code, water, ice, or unusual sound. Do not repeatedly reset breakers or bypass safety controls.
Water, ice, or condensate at the equipment
Shut the system off only if you can do so safely, move valuables clear, and photograph the water, model plate, and damage before cleanup. Note when it started and whether the system was running.
When you call, tell us the system type, the symptom, your thermostat reading, and any error code — it helps our 24/7 emergency HVAC technician arrive ready to fix it.

Transparent pricing
What HVAC service costs in Pittsburgh
Most contractors hide behind a 'free estimate' button. Here are honest, published Pittsburgh price ranges so you can plan — clearly labeled as market estimates, not quotes. Your real number comes from an on-site diagnosis or load calculation.
Ranges vary with equipment capacity, access, ductwork, electrical or fuel-gas work, permits, removal, startup testing, and accessories. Ask whether financing (on approved credit) and a maintenance plan fit your project — we put the terms in writing beside every quote.
| System type | Published cost range | Best for Pittsburgh homes | Key considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gas furnace | $3,500–$5,800 | Heating-dominated Climate Zone 5A homes with gas service | Confirm sizing, combustion safety, venting & permits |
| Central AC | $3,200–$5,200 | Homes with existing ductwork that need summer cooling | Review coil matching, condensate & startup testing |
| Heat pump | $4,200–$7,600 | One system for heating and cooling | Confirm low-temp capacity, backup heat & electrical |
| Single-zone ductless | $3,800–$6,500 | Additions or homes where ductwork is difficult | Plan head placement, condensate & outdoor unit |
| Furnace + central AC | $7,200–$12,000 | Whole-system replacement with matched distribution | Compare Manual J/S/D, permits, disposal & warranties |
Figures are published Western Pennsylvania market estimates for planning only, not guaranteed quotes. Typical lifespans and final pricing are confirmed against the selected equipment and your home.
When repair is the sensible choice
- The failure is isolated and the system passes safety checks
- Repair cost is proportionate to the system's condition and life left
- Ductwork, drainage, venting, and controls aren't causing a separate problem
- The fix doesn't rely on bypassing a safety or repeating a temporary reset
When replacement deserves an evaluation
- Failures keep recurring or safe operation can't be restored economically
- Parts are unavailable or the system is badly mismatched to the home
- Comfort and operating costs stay poor after a proper diagnosis
- A measured load, duct review, and repair history point to replacing
We show you the evidence either way. Compare a furnace replacement or AC replacement quote line by line — equipment, sizing, permits, warranty, and startup testing — before you decide.
Locally owned & operated
Pittsburgh neighbors keeping Pittsburgh comfortable
Werth-Aire is a locally owned HVAC contractor based in the North Hills, right on the Perry Highway corridor. Since 2015, we've built our business on a simple idea: treat every home like our own, tell people the truth about their systems, and do the work properly the first time.
Our EPA-certified technicians know Pittsburgh's housing inside and out — the mid-century furnaces of Ross Township, the historic boilers of Bellevue and Mt. Lebanon, the humid summers that keep AC systems working overtime. That local expertise is why homeowners trust us with everything from a 2 a.m. no-heat call to a full high-efficiency replacement.
Built for Pittsburgh
Why Pittsburgh homes need a local HVAC approach
Pittsburgh sits in heating-dominated IECC Climate Zone 5A, and its older housing, hilly terrain, and humid summers all shape the right heating and cooling decision. We diagnose for those realities — not a one-size template.
Cold winters, Zone 5A
Hard cold snaps expose weak ignition, airflow, controls, and combustion parts. It's why furnace, boiler, and no-heat repair are the region's top HVAC needs — and why we schedule heating service in early fall, before the first freeze.
Humid summers & drainage
Muggy summers and heavy downpours reveal condensate, frozen-coil, and basement-drainage problems. Proper AC sizing and humidity control matter as much as temperature in a Pittsburgh home.
Older homes & hills
Older North Hills and South Hills homes can have undersized or leaky ducts, additions with weak airflow, and basement equipment. We inspect return air, duct leakage, and capacity — not just the furnace — with a Manual J load calculation and duct review.

What Pittsburgh homeowners say
Rated 4.9★ across 51 reviews
“Our furnace died on the coldest night in January. Werth-Aire answered right away and had a tech out that evening. He found the bad igniter, showed me the part, and had heat back on before bed. Fair price, no upsell.”
“Got three quotes for a new furnace. Werth-Aire was the only one who actually measured the house and did a load calculation instead of guessing. Install was clean, they pulled the permit, and the new system is noticeably quieter.”
“We have an old boiler and radiators, and most companies did not want to touch it. Werth-Aire knew exactly what was wrong — a stuck circulator — and fixed it same day. So relieved to find someone who understands these old systems.”
“Added AC to our 1920s home without ductwork using a mini-split. They walked us through where the heads would go so it looked right, and the house is finally comfortable in summer. Professional from start to finish.”
“AC quit during a heat wave with a newborn in the house. They prioritized us and were out within a couple hours. Turned out to be a capacitor. Honest, fast, and kind about the whole thing.”
“Two other companies just kept adding refrigerant every summer. Werth-Aire actually found the leak in the coil and gave me a straight repair-vs-replace comparison. First honest AC company I have dealt with.”
