Amethyst HVAC Mechanical and Energy Solutions is Bala Cynwyd's locally owned heating and cooling company, serving homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses across Montgomery County and the surrounding area. Heat restored. Cooling dialed in. Comfort back.
Whether you own a single-family home, manage a multi-unit building, or run a commercial space, we handle the full range of HVAC work, from a quick repair call to a complete system replacement. Call (610) 514-5392 to get a quote or schedule service.
Your home deserves heating and cooling that runs right, and that starts with a team that knows the equipment and shows up ready to work. We handle AC repair and service, furnace repair, heat pump service, full system installation and replacement, thermostat and smart-control installation, ductwork repair and sealing, indoor air quality, and seasonal maintenance. On every call, we dig into airflow issues, uneven temperatures from room to room, refrigerant leak diagnosis, and condenser and compressor service until the problem is clear. We'll find the fault and set it right.
When your house stops cooling, we move fast. An AC repair visit covers a full diagnosis, refrigerant level check, condenser and compressor inspection, evaporator coil condition, and a thorough airflow assessment. We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test so you know exactly what we found and what we did about it. Same-day availability means you are not waiting days in the heat. We also handle AC tune-ups and seasonal maintenance to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
A furnace not working or blowing cold air in a Pennsylvania winter is not something you want to sit on. We run a full no-heat diagnosis, inspect the heat exchanger, service the ignition and burners, and check the blower and air handler to find the cause. When a system is aging and repairs are stacking up, we give you honest recommendations on repair versus replacement, never an upsell. If a new furnace makes more sense for your home, we walk you through the options and put together an estimate.
Heat pumps that stop heating or stop cooling need a technician who knows the system. We diagnose refrigerant issues, reversing-valve problems, and seasonal performance loss, then get the system back on track. When replacement makes more sense, we handle heat pump installation and can give you a clear picture of replacement cost and what to expect from a modern, energy-efficient system. Today's heat pumps deliver serious comfort year-round, and we install them right.
A thermostat that does not respond, reads the wrong temperature, or loses its schedule is a comfort problem with a straightforward fix. We troubleshoot and replace standard thermostats, install Wi-Fi thermostats, and set up smart thermostat systems that let you control comfort from your phone. All work stays on the low-voltage control side of the HVAC equipment, and we make sure the new control is communicating correctly with your system before we leave.
Leaking ductwork is one of the most common reasons a home has uneven temperatures or rooms that never quite reach the right comfort level. We inspect the duct system, locate leaks, and seal or repair them so conditioned air goes where it is supposed to go. Properly sealed ducts also support better indoor air quality by reducing the amount of dust and outside air pulled into the system. If sections of ductwork are too far gone to seal, we replace them cleanly.
The air inside a home or building can carry dust, allergens, and airborne particles that a standard filter does not fully address. We install whole-home air filtration systems, air purifiers, air scrubbers, and humidifiers to bring the indoor environment up to a healthier standard. Better filtration means cleaner air at every vent, and the right humidity level makes both heating and cooling feel more effective. We'll match the right solution to your home's setup.
Full system replacement and new installation are some of the most significant home or building investments you will make. We handle central air installation, central air replacement, and complete HVAC system replacement for both residential and commercial customers. We stand behind every system we service, and we make sure the new equipment is sized correctly, installed properly, and running at full performance before the job is done. Call for a quote and we will put together an honest estimate for your situation. Give us a ring and we'll take care of it.
The sooner you call, the sooner your comfort is back, and that is exactly why we keep our phones answered and our schedule flexible for urgent calls. No heat in the house, no air conditioning, system completely down, these are not situations where waiting until next week is an option. We offer same-day and 24-hour emergency HVAC service for residential and commercial customers. Emergency furnace repair, emergency AC repair, and emergency heating repair all fall within what we handle, and we treat every urgent call with the same attention we give a scheduled job. We pick up the phone. We arrive on time. We check before we leave.
Cold Pennsylvania winters, warm and humid summers, and some of the oldest housing stock in the country make this area a place where HVAC work is anything but generic. Montgomery County is full of homes built before central air was standard, running on boilers, steam radiators, and oil heat that has served families for decades. The three services below come up constantly in this area, and we have built real experience handling each one.
We've served this area long enough to know what works, and for a large share of older Bala Cynwyd homes, what works is a boiler. Steam and hot-water radiator systems are reliable when they are properly maintained, and we handle the full range of boiler service: pressure checks, zone valve inspection, circulator pump service, and hydronic system balancing. When something goes wrong with a boiler-based heating system, the diagnosis requires someone who knows the equipment. We do.
The Northeast carries the overwhelming majority of the country's oil-heat homes, and Pennsylvania is no exception. Converting from an oil-fired system to a gas furnace or a heat pump is one of the most meaningful upgrades a homeowner in this region can make. On the HVAC equipment side, that means removing the old oil unit, installing and commissioning the new system, and verifying that it performs correctly from day one. We handle the heating equipment and its installation; we coordinate with the appropriate trades for anything outside that scope.
Many older homes in the area were built without ductwork, and adding a full duct system is not always practical or cost-effective. Ductless mini-splits solve that problem cleanly. We handle indoor air handler placement, outdoor unit siting, and zoned comfort control so every room reaches the right temperature without the disruption of a major renovation. We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test, whether that is a new installation or a service call on an existing mini-split system.
Property managers trust us to keep their buildings comfortable, and we take that responsibility seriously. We handle commercial AC repair, commercial heating repair, commercial HVAC installation, and ongoing commercial HVAC maintenance for offices, retail spaces, and multi-unit buildings across the area. When a system goes down in a commercial setting, downtime costs money and tenants notice. We move quickly, communicate clearly, and get the equipment back online. Scheduling a seasonal tune-up call before peak heating or cooling season is the simplest way to avoid the bigger problems. We make the repair and leave the space tidy.
A spring or fall tune-up is the most straightforward way to protect your heating and cooling investment. Annual HVAC maintenance lets our qualified HVAC technicians catch worn parts, dirty components, and small refrigerant issues before they turn into emergency calls in the middle of July or January. We cover a full system inspection, clean and test the equipment, and flag anything that needs attention. Preventive maintenance also supports better energy efficiency over the life of the system. We make the repair and leave the home tidy.
We're proud to be the HVAC company this community calls first. Founded in 2017, we have spent nearly a decade building a reputation in Bala Cynwyd and the surrounding area for showing up, doing the work right, and standing behind it. Every job is performed by qualified HVAC technicians who treat your home or building with care. We are locally owned and personally accountable for every call we take.

Yes, we work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses throughout Bala Cynwyd and the surrounding Montgomery County area.

We are based in Bala Cynwyd and regularly serve Narberth, Wynnewood, Penn Valley, Ardmore, Bryn Mawr, Merion Station, Gladwyne, and Haverford, along with the broader Montgomery County area. If you are not sure whether we cover your address, just call and we will confirm. Chances are good we do.
We offer emergency heating and cooling service seven days a week, from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. No heat in the middle of a Pennsylvania winter and no air conditioning during a summer heat wave are both situations we treat as urgent. Call (610) 514-5392 and we will get you scheduled as quickly as possible.
Same-day availability is something we work hard to maintain, especially for no-heat and no-cool situations. We keep our schedule flexible for urgent calls and move quickly when a system is completely down. Call (610) 514-5392 early in the day for the best chance at a same-day appointment.
We give you an honest read on both options based on what we find during the diagnosis. If a repair will solve the problem and the system has useful life remaining, we will tell you. If repairs are stacking up or the equipment is aging past the point where they make financial sense, we will tell you that too. Our goal is an honest recommendation, not the more expensive path.
The more detail you can share, the more accurate our initial estimate will be. Helpful information includes the type of system you have, the age of the equipment if you know it, and a description of what the system is doing or not doing. For a firm estimate on a repair or installation, we will need to see the equipment in person, so the best first step is to call (610) 514-5392 and schedule a visit.
Someone over the age of 18 should be present for the visit so the technician can access the equipment and walk you through what was found. If you are a property manager or landlord scheduling service for a tenant's unit, let us know when you call and we can coordinate access arrangements that work for your situation.
Turn the system off and call us right away. Unusual noises like banging or squealing and burning smells can signal a mechanical failure, an electrical issue with the equipment, or a component that is close to failing. Running the system in that condition can make the problem worse and more expensive to fix.
For seasonal maintenance, earlier is always better. Spring AC tune-ups and fall furnace checks book up as the weather turns, and scheduling a few weeks ahead gives you the most flexibility. If you are already heading into peak season, call (610) 514-5392 and we will do our best to fit you in quickly.

How do I know whether to repair my system or replace it?
We give you an honest read on both options based on what we find during the diagnosis. If a repair will solve the problem and the system has useful life remaining, we will tell you. If repairs are stacking up or the equipment is aging past the point where they make financial sense, we will say that too. Our goal is a straightforward recommendation, not the more expensive path.
What are the signs that my AC or furnace may need to be replaced?
Frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, uneven temperatures across the home, and equipment that is more than 15 to 20 years old are all worth paying attention to. If the cost of a repair is approaching a significant share of what a new system would cost, replacement often makes more financial sense. We walk you through the numbers so you can make an informed decision.
Why would a system stop heating or cooling even when it is running?
A system that runs but does not heat or cool is usually dealing with a refrigerant issue, a failed component such as a compressor or reversing valve, a dirty coil, or an airflow problem caused by a clogged filter or blocked duct. A proper diagnosis pinpoints the cause so we are not guessing at a fix.
Experienced With Older and Newer Systems
Montgomery County is full of homes running boilers, steam radiators, and oil heat that has served families for decades. We know that equipment and work on it regularly, alongside modern heat pumps, mini-splits, and smart-control systems.
How often should I schedule maintenance or a tune-up?
Once a year for each side of the system is the standard: a spring tune-up for the AC before cooling season and a fall check for the furnace or heat pump before heating season. Annual maintenance keeps the equipment running efficiently, catches worn parts early, and reduces the chance of an emergency call at the worst time of year.
What does a seasonal tune-up actually cover?
A tune-up includes a full system inspection, cleaning of key components, testing of controls and safeties, a check of refrigerant levels on the cooling side, and a review of anything that looks like it could cause a problem down the road. We flag anything that needs attention and explain what we found before we leave.
Why is one room in my home hotter or colder than the rest?
Uneven temperatures usually point to a ductwork issue, an undersized or improperly balanced system, or a zone control problem. Leaking ducts are a common culprit in older homes. In homes without ductwork, a ductless mini-split is often the cleanest solution for getting consistent comfort into a room that the central system cannot reach.
Straightforward Scheduling
When you call, you reach someone local who knows the area and can talk through your situation directly. We keep the process simple: describe the problem, get a visit scheduled, and we handle the rest.
What do strange noises from my HVAC unit mean?
Banging or clanking usually points to a loose or broken component. Squealing often means a worn belt or bearing. Rattling can be a loose panel or debris in the system. Any unusual noise is worth a call; running equipment that is signaling a mechanical problem can turn a manageable repair into a larger one.
How do ductwork leaks affect my energy bills?
Leaking ducts allow conditioned air to escape before it reaches the rooms you are trying to heat or cool. The system works harder, runs longer, and uses more energy to make up the difference. Sealing those leaks is one of the most cost-effective improvements you can make to an existing system, and the comfort difference is usually noticeable right away.
Workmanship We Stand Behind
We stand behind every system we service and every repair we make. Qualified HVAC technicians do the work, and we make sure the equipment is running correctly before we leave the job.
Do I need to be home when the technician arrives?
Someone over the age of 18 should be present so the technician can access the equipment and walk you through what was found. If you are a landlord or property manager scheduling service for a tenant's unit, let us know when you call and we can work out access arrangements that fit your situation.
How do estimates and pricing work?
For a firm estimate on a repair or installation, we need to see the equipment in person. The more detail you can share when you call, such as the type of system, its approximate age, and what it is doing or not doing, the more useful our initial conversation will be. Call us and we will talk through what your situation looks like and get a visit scheduled.
Is same-day or emergency service available?
We keep our schedule flexible for urgent calls and offer same-day and emergency HVAC service for residential and commercial customers. No heat in a Pennsylvania winter and no air conditioning during a summer heat wave are both situations we treat as priorities. Call early in the day for the best chance at a same-day appointment.
Call (610) 514-5392 and we will talk through what your home or building needs and get you on the schedule.
