McCorry Comfort — Family-run since 2001. Serving Jenkintown and Montgomery County for 25 years.
Jenkintown's Victorian-era and mid-century housing stock creates a distinct set of HVAC challenges. Homes built in the 1890s through 1950s were not designed around modern forced-air systems. Many have radiators, boilers, or converted oil systems that are decades into their service lives. Central air was retrofitted where it could be — and where it couldn't, window units became a fixture.
New homeowners in the borough frequently discover that their first significant capital expense is HVAC-related: a boiler replacement, a furnace that didn't survive another winter, or an AC system that was already past its useful life when they bought. Understanding what you're dealing with before that failure is the difference between a planned replacement and an emergency call.

It depends on the existing infrastructure. Homes with working radiator systems and a good boiler can run comfortably for decades more with proper maintenance. For cooling, homes without existing ductwork are strong candidates for ductless mini-split systems (Mitsubishi, Fujitsu) — they can be installed without tearing up walls and provide both heating and cooling. Homes with existing ductwork can be fitted with standard forced-air AC and a matching furnace. The best answer starts with an assessment of what's already there.
Yes. McCorry Comfort services oil-fired boilers and furnaces, and handles oil-to-gas conversions for homeowners looking to switch fuel types. Many Jenkintown homes were originally oil-heated and have been converted, partially converted, or are still running on oil. We service all of it.
Same-day service is available in most cases for Jenkintown and immediately surrounding communities. Call (215) 379-2800 — we're familiar with the borough and can usually get there the same day for urgent situations. For planned work, scheduling is typically within a few days.
Modern cold-climate heat pumps (Mitsubishi Hyper-Heat and similar) are rated to operate efficiently well below freezing — down to -13°F in some models. Montgomery County winters are well within their operating range. For homes with existing oil or propane heat, a heat pump with a backup strip heater or maintaining the existing system as backup covers all but the most extreme conditions. Many Jenkintown homeowners are making this conversion now.
