Air Conditioning
A typical summer workday for one of our air conditioner professionals is long, hot, and dirty. All day we repair broken air conditioners, recharge leaking refrigerant, replace motors, or deliver the bad news that a homeowner needs a new air conditioning unit.
In many instances, the air conditioners we repair are not working due to years of neglect from things like never changing filters, ignoring preventative maintenance, or not fixing the air conditioning unit when it starts performing poorly.
At Nerthling’s Heating and Air Conditioning, we stress the importance of routine heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) preventive maintenance with each of our area customers. Preventative maintenance not only guards against breakdowns, but every study on maintaining heating and cooling units shows they operate more efficiently and last much longer than units never serviced.
Our knowledgeable and experienced team can offer you an affordable HVAC service contract so you do not have to worry about keeping your air conditioning unit maintained.
We can help ensure your air conditioner is in tip-top shape and ready to run for many hot seasons to come, so call us at 814-838-3600. Request air conditioning service online today.
Air Ducts
The heating and air conditioning publication The News reported that leaking ductwork in a home “could easily be leaking one-third or more of . . . conditioned air into the attic or building envelope before it ever reaches its final destination. The result is an HVAC system that works harder and longer, and consumes much more energy, to heat and cool a home.”
If more than a third of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system’s conditioned air is lost, imaging how long your system must run to get your home comfortable. Then consider how much extra that leaking ductwork is costing you month after month all year long!
Nerthling’s Heating and Air Conditioning has the tools and expertise to test your home’s ductwork to find the leaks, seal them, and stop the loss of money and energy. If your home is more than 20 years old, it may be time for air duct cleaning to make sure the air you and your family breathe is free from dust and mold.
Call our team at 814-838-3600. We can check the condition and cleanliness of your home’s air duct system and offer a plan to keep your ducts dust-free and efficient. Request air duct service online today.

Each of these commercial operations requires a uniquely scaled heating or cooling system to work effectively. Turn to a professional service provider such as Nerthling’s Heating and Air Conditioning to help you find the right heating and cooling solution for your commercial application.
Heating Services
Finding the best heating system for your commercial business can be challenging. You’ll want evenly distributed heat to maintain your employee and customer comfort levels.

Talk with our trained professionals about the most efficient solution for you. Call Nerthling’s Heating and Air Conditioning at 814-838-3600 today.
Cooling Services

Boilers
If you are considering a boiler for your home heating system, your big choice is to select a gas boiler or an electric water boiler. A Google search for “gas boiler versus electrical boiler versus oil boiler” does not help much.
There are conflicting opinions on which boiler type is preferable, but much of it depends on your home’s construction and the fuel sources available to you. As a homeowner, you are fortunate to have each boiler type available for your home installation.
What most people lack is someone to explain the pros and cons of each kind of boiler. You do not just want a boiler that will work; you want a boiler that is right for your home and will provide many years of efficient heating service.
To guide you through the water boiler selection, our Nerthling’s Heating and Air Conditioning heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) team can perform a site survey of your home and explain the benefits and advantages of each kind of boiler. By calling us at 814-838-3600, you will be better informed and make the best purchase of a new home boiler system. Request boiler service online today.
Ductless Systems
There are some rooms in your house that have their own specific temperature needs. Maybe it is a wine closet or a gaming room. Perhaps it is your bedroom. Maybe it is a room that needs to be cool all the time even when the rest of the house is warm.
With one air conditioning unit controlling your whole house, there is no way to make one room cooler than the others. But with the expanding US ductless system , or mini split, market, a ductless heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is now the easiest and most affordable way to add a separate heating and air conditioning unit to that room.
Nerthling’s Heating and Air Conditioning has seen the ductless system market in expand over the last few years with most homeowners adding ductless units to family rooms. Between the TV, video games, and all the people inside laughing and playing, the room can get very stuffy. A mini split system gives the family room its own heating and cooling control so you can always keep that room comfortable.
Do you have a room that needs its own heating and cooling? Call our professional team today at 814-838-3600 and see how affordable extra heating and cooling is for your special room. Request ductless system service online today.
Furnaces
Statistics from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) show 15 percent of all home fires in the United States were caused by malfunctioning heating systems or furnaces. Some of those fires occurred here in and, sadly, many of them were preventable.
A gas furnace is a safe and reliable way to keep your home warm. Like every piece of equipment, a gas furnace must be properly maintained to ensure safe and efficient operation. Furnace maintenance includes regular filter changes, furnace repair, and a thorough heat exchanger inspection.
Few homeowners have the tools or the time to keep up with furnace maintenance and should work with a licensed and reputable heating and air conditioning contractor to service their unit. If your heater is well maintained, you can expect it to provide up to 15 years of dependable heating to your home.
Nerthling’s Heating and Air Conditioning has years of experience installing and maintaining heater systems. Call 814-838-3600 for an honest assessment of your heater’s condition. Let help resolve any problems so you and your family are safe and your heater in remains in top-notch condition. Request furnace service online today.
Geothermal Heat Pumps
The worldwide geothermal heat pump market is expected to rise to over 6 percent per year by 2024. Homeowners in and across the country are opting for high-efficiency geothermal heating and cooling systems as an alternative to their conventional gas or electrical residential units.
A geothermal heat pump rejects and extracts heat from the ground instead of the atmosphere as is done with typical heating and cooling units. Condenser heat is carried through underground pipes from the geothermal heat pump and distributed into the soil a few feet below the surface.
Because the ground is a consistent temperature year-round, the heating and cooling equipment does not have wild swings in outdoor temperature as with air source heat pumps. This consistent soil temperature is one of the ways the geothermal heating system achieves such high operational efficiencies.
Call 814-838-3600 and we can show you some of the geothermal systems Nerthling’s Heating and Air Conditioning has installed here in . We would be happy to discuss if a new energy-efficient geothermal heat pump system is right for your home. Request geothermal heat pump service online today.
Heat Pumps
The US Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Saver page advises that a “heat pump can reduce your electricity use for heating by approximately 50 percent compared to electric resistance heating.” That means a heat pump could cut your electric heating bill in half!
That is an amazing savings. In cities like that often see utility prices rise in the winter, that is a lot of money back in your pocket each month. Nerthling’s Heating and Air Conditioning works with homeowners and small office building managers to calculate the annual savings of replacing their old, electric unit with a new heat pump system.
We walk them through how the different heat pumps on the market affect their installation costs and their long-term savings. For example, if buyers consider mini split heat pumps with very high cooling Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings, the utility savings compared to the old units is even more amazing.
If it is time to replace your existing unit or you need a system for a renovation, let us show you the possible savings. Call us at 814-838-3600 and see what savings are possible for your home. Request heat pump service online today.
Home Automation
Did you remember to turn off the heating or air conditioning when you left for work? Did you leave lights on in your home that will stay on all day while no one is there? A growing number of homeowners can definitively answer these questions with a quick swipe of their phones. They have taken advantage of the newest home automation platforms that integrate their heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units, lights, electric meter, and even their home entertainment systems with a smartphone app.
Nerthling’s Heating and Air Conditioning began offering smart home systems a few years ago when our customers told us they needed more ways to control their home’s energy consumption. We found a lot of families rush out the door in the morning going to work and school, leaving lights or the air conditioning on.
Adding Wi-Fi and home automation features let them leave the house as normal, but once they get to their destination and remember what they left on, their smart home app allows them turn everything off even if they left hours ago.

Indoor Air Quality
Breathing is something we all take for granted but is absolutely vital to our existence moment to moment. Here in , most of us stay indoors nearly all the time, so the quality of the indoor air we breathe should be important to us. Our team at Nerthling’s Heating and Air Conditioning wants to help you be sure your indoor air quality is safe and healthy.
In nearly all indoor environments, dust, off-gassing from paints and carpets, and other pollutants are present in the air we breathe. Sometimes smoke and pet dander can be added to the mix. In most heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, an air filter can remove some of these pollutants. Some homeowners may choose to have a high-efficiency HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter to remove even smaller particulates.
Indoor air quality problems may result in discomfort for you and your family or, in some cases, chronic long-term health issues like allergies and asthma. When you have one of our professionals come out and test your indoor air quality, you may discover areas that require remediation. New filtration systems, air purifiers, duct cleaning services, and other solutions may improve your situation.
Call our professionals at Nerthling’s Heating and Air Conditioning. Our number is 814-838-3600 and our trained experts are standing by to help remedy poor indoor air quality issues. Request indoor air quality service online today.
Maintenance
Just like your car requires regular oil changes and tire rotations to keep it running smoothly, your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system will work much better if you take care of it on a regular basis. The professionals at Nerthling’s Heating and Air Conditioning recommend a biannual maintenance checkup to keep your home comfortable year-round.
The best times to schedule an HVAC maintenance service call are during the spring and fall. These are the seasons when your furnace and air conditioner are probably not in full operation yet, which means they are the perfect times to get them ready for the hot summer or cold winter. In addition, these are the seasons when HVAC professionals are not constantly under the gun with emergency service calls, which allows them to provide excellent service at an affordable price.
When you call your HVAC team in , you’ll be getting a complete maintenance package that includes a thorough inspection, cleaning and tune-up. That means all your components will be lubricated, tightened and checked for wear and potential malfunction. In the long-run, this inexpensive service call may save you an expensive emergency repair call, reduce your energy bills, and lengthen the life of your system.

Water Heaters
Water heaters are a system in your home you may not think about until they don’t work when you need them. Whether this is in the form of a cold water surge in the shower or in the dishwasher not working, it is usually always highly inconvenient. In most cases, the fault lies with your water heater. What options are available today?
Tank water heaters are most commonly used, cheaper than their alternatives, and fairly straightforward. However, these are also typically the units that may cause the majority of the problems you may associate with hot water heaters.
Tankless water heaters, while more expensive initially, do have some significant benefits in the long run. They provide hot water specifically when you need it—on demand— and are generally more energy efficient than their counterparts.
Regardless of the type of water heater you choose for your home, our Nerthling’s Heating and Air Conditioning professional team members are ready and waiting for you. Whether you need a replacement, new installation, repair, or maintenance—give us a call at 814-838-3600. Request water heater service online today.
Zone Control Systems
Imagine waking up in the morning in a nice, cozy bedroom and getting ready in a warm bathroom. As you head downstairs for your morning cup of coffee, your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system lowers the upstairs temperature until just before bedtime while the kitchen is comfortable for the next hour. Once you head out the door, the entire house goes into energy-conservation mode while you are away.
That’s a very real scenario for homeowners who have invested in zone control systems. One of the newer types of HVAC technologies available,zone control systems feature multiple thermostats that manage temperatures in various areas of your home. When heating or cooling is called for, a set of dampers automatically opens and closes to redirect your cooling or heating to the calling zone.
In the past, managing this task may have required physically opening and closing vents, which can damage a conventional HVAC system if doing so restricts air circulation too heavily.
Our Nerthling’s Heating and Air Conditioning trained experts can tell you all about zone control systems and how they can benefit your home.
Call Nerthling’s Heating and Air Conditioning at 814-838-3600 to see if zone control systems might be a good fit for you. Request zone control system service online today.
