Boehmer Heating and Cooling

Boehmer Heating and Cooling Company was founded in 1933 by William F. Boehmer and describes itself as "Comfort Specialists Since 1933" and as proudly serving Greater Pittsburgh for over 90 years. It started with coal furnace repairs, stoker installations, and gas conversions. William's sons Herbert, William C., and David A. Boehmer continued the business, and in 1994 the third generation, David E. and Steve Boehmer, took over management, with David E. retiring in 1999. The site says the company is family owned and operated and that its central Pittsburgh location has a team of 32 co-workers. A statistics block on the home page lists 3.5K+ maintenance members, 90+ years in business, 20k systems installed, and 3 generations owned.

The credential published in the site footer is "Pennsylvania Contractors Registration# PA10088". The company states its technicians are NATE-certified, referring to North American Technician Excellence, the nationwide HVAC certification program, and it publishes an explainer page about what NATE certification means. It is a Bryant Factory Authorized Dealer, an endorsement the site says requires ongoing technical training, employing NATE certified technicians, maintaining required local licenses and appropriate insurance and liability coverage, and fulfilling warranty obligations. The company says it is BBB accredited and an active member of the Air Conditioning Contractors of Western Pennsylvania (ACCWPA), and that it serves on the advisory board of Rosedale Technical College. It has welcomed customers from Rojohn Heating and Air Conditioning, M&G/Comfort Experts, and Economy Heating and Air Conditioning.

Boehmer Heating and Cooling does not publish a price list, rates, or fees for individual HVAC repairs or installations on its website. What it does publish is how to get a price: the home page advertises Free New Equipment Estimates and an Instant Quote option, and the financing page says to call the office to learn about financing options. The phone number for a quote or estimate is 412-381-4100, and the Schedule Now and Contact Us forms can also be used to request pricing. Any cost figure for a specific job has to come from the company itself.

The promotions published on the site at the time of reading are these. A Bryant Fall Flex Rebates offer says customers can save up to $675 on qualifying equipment when they upgrade to a new Bryant high-efficiency heating and cooling system, plus 0% interest financing for 60 months on approved credit; the offer text says "Offer expires 8/31/2026" and "Please call for details". A separate financing promotion advertises 0% financing for up to 60 months on select products, based on approved credit, with financing terms that may vary by product and brand, and it also shows an expiry of 8/31/2026. A maintenance plan offer advertises an Energy Saving Maintenance Plan for $25 per month; no expiry date is shown for that one. The financing page names Wells Fargo Financing. A third service-repair promotion is also listed on the site, with details available by calling.

Boehmer Heating and Cooling offers three named HVAC maintenance plans in Pittsburgh, and the site says over 3,500 neighbors have joined. Maintenance Plus includes one cooling (spring) maintenance service, one heating (fall) maintenance service, a reduced service fee during business hours, a reduced emergency (after hours) service fee, a 15% repair service discount, a 1 year parts warranty on repairs, and priority customer status. Plus Monthly, marked most popular, lists the same benefits on a monthly basis; a promotion elsewhere on the site advertises an energy saving maintenance plan for $25 per month. Signature includes one cooling and one heating maintenance service, no service fee during business hours, no emergency (after hours) service fee, a 60% repair service discount, a 1 year parts warranty on repairs, and priority customer status.

The plan benefits page describes two annual performance tune-ups, usually spring for the air conditioner and fall for the heater, during which technicians inspect for problems such as loose wires, refrigerant leaks, and thermostat miscalibration. It also lists free 24-hour priority service, 15% off qualified repairs with reduced diagnostic fees, a labor warranty under which all labor services are warrantied for 1 year with no charge to return and diagnose within that time, and energy-saving coil cleaning. The site says maintenance keeps the equipment warranty valid. Signing up is described in three steps: pick your plan, contact the company to sign up, then receive year-round service. The exact price of each plan is not listed beside the plan, so booking or a call to 412-381-4100 is needed to confirm cost.
