Boro Mechanical provides heating, cooling, oil-heat, and ductless HVAC repair and installation across Lancaster, PA - the city's downtown rowhomes, its established neighborhoods, and the businesses in between. We're a family-owned, NORA Silver certified company based next door in Washington Boro, which means Lancaster calls get local response, not a dispatcher three counties away.
Our service stack covers everything a Lancaster property runs: AC repair and central air installation, gas and oil furnace repair, hydronic boiler repair, oil heating systems, ductless mini-split installation, heat pump installation, water heater installation, and light-commercial HVAC.
Replacement, repair, or a seasonal tune-up - we give you a straight recommendation, transparent pricing, and same-day service during business hours whenever the schedule allows. Start with our Washington Boro HVAC company homepage to see the full range, or call 717-517-6120.
Older-home heating and no-ductwork cooling: the two jobs Lancaster's housing stock creates more than any other.
Lancaster summers are humid-continental: sticky July afternoons that push an aging air conditioner past its limits. When a system runs but blows warm air, the usual suspects are low refrigerant from a leak, a dirty condenser coil, a failed capacitor, or a frozen evaporator. Our technicians diagnose the actual fault and fix it - we don't guess, and we don't sell a replacement when a repair will hold. When replacement is the right call, we install high-SEER central air sized with a proper load calculation, not a rule of thumb.
Lancaster's housing stock is old in the best way - and its heating shows it. Downtown rowhomes and the city's Victorian blocks still run hydronic boilers and radiators; postwar neighborhoods run gas furnaces at every stage of life. We repair ignitors, flame sensors, heat exchangers, and short-cycling controls on gas and oil furnaces, and we service the radiator loops that most newer contractors have never touched. When a system is past saving, we install high-AFUE replacement furnaces from Heil sized to the actual house.
Thousands of Lancaster County homes still heat with oil, and Boro Mechanical is one of the few local companies that treats oil heat as a specialty rather than a nuisance. Our NORA Silver certification covers oil furnace and oil boiler service, repair, and installation - New Yorker and NTI equipment included. Thinking about switching fuels? We walk you through the convert-vs-keep decision honestly, because we service both sides of it. Start with our guide to oil-to-gas conversion cost in Lancaster County.
Lancaster's storefronts, restaurants, and small commercial buildings run rooftop units and packaged systems that can't afford downtime. We install, repair, and maintain light-commercial HVAC - RTUs, packaged units, and split systems - with preventive maintenance agreements that keep tenants comfortable and equipment off the emergency list.
No heat or no cooling in Lancaster? Urgent no-heat and no-cool calls get priority scheduling, with same-day service during business hours whenever possible.
Call 717-517-6120A large share of Lancaster's homes were built before ductwork existed, which makes ductless the city's most practical comfort upgrade. A ductless mini-split installation puts multi-zone heating and cooling into a rowhome or Victorian without opening walls: an outdoor unit, slim indoor heads, and a small line set. The Cooper & Hunter and Friedrich systems we install carry cold-climate ratings that handle Pennsylvania winters, and modern SEER2 efficiency cuts operating costs against window units and electric baseboard. For whole-home electrification, we also design and install heat pump systems, standalone or paired with an existing furnace as a dual-fuel setup. Curious how they hold up in January? Read how mini-splits handle PA winters.
We work across the 17601, 17602, and 17603 ZIP codes: the downtown blocks around Penn Square and Central Market, Cabbage Hill's tight rowhome streets, Chestnut Hill, School Lane Hills near Franklin & Marshall College, Grandview Heights, and the corridors out toward Lancaster General. Rowhome or ranch, radiator or forced air, we've serviced its twin somewhere in the county.
