Heating and Cooling Pittsburgh Trusts
Craft Heating and Cooling has provided heating and air conditioning service to Pittsburgh, PA homeowners and businesses since 1949. Whether your furnace quits during a January cold snap or your central air struggles through a humid August, you get a technician who knows this city's older housing stock, its narrow lots, and the particular demands of a Pittsburgh winter.
Pittsburgh homes ask more of an HVAC system than most. Brick rowhouses in Lawrenceville hold heat differently than split-levels out in the North Hills. Older ductwork runs in directions that make no sense until someone has actually worked in the space. Because Craft has been here for over seventy years, these situations are familiar, not surprises. Recommendations are sized and designed for your specific home, not pulled from a catalog.
All work is performed by Craft's own technicians, factory-trained and NATE-certified. NATE, the North American Technician Excellence certification, is the industry's independent standard for verified technical competence. No subcontractors are dispatched to your home. The person who shows up is accountable to Craft, and Craft is accountable to you. Radio dispatch keeps response times short, which matters when the temperature outside drops fast and the rivers are icing over.

What our clients say
“Update – Spring Service: Rob C. came out this spring to add the Freon to my A/C unit, and once again Craft Heating delivered excellent service. I really appreciate that they noted this step on my winter furnace installation contract and followed through without me even needing to call...”

“Guys did an amazing job installing our new furnace and water heater. They arrived on time, were very knowledgeable, and professional. Will be using them again for all future HVAC needs!”
Jim L·Google review, April 2026
“The inducer motor on my old Trane furnace has needed to be replaced for some time, but I kept putting it off and putting it off and putting it off. Until today, when it failed entirely - just in time for all the snow and ice we're supposed to get this weekend. I had zero heat. The furnace was non-operational...”

Common questions
Answers to what clients typically ask before getting in touch.
- How do I know you won't try to sell me a new system when I just need a repair?
- The diagnostic comes first, and the findings are explained to you before any recommendation is made. If a repair is the right call, that is what gets suggested. When a system is genuinely near the end of its life, a technician will tell you why, in plain terms, and let you decide. Craft has been operating on word-of-mouth and repeat business in the same Pittsburgh communities for over seventy years, and that does not happen by pushing unnecessary replacements.
- How fast can you actually get here if my furnace dies in the middle of winter?
- Craft uses radio dispatch, which keeps scheduling tight and response times shorter than a call center model allows. Pittsburgh winters move fast, and the team is set up with that in mind. Call as soon as the problem starts, and the dispatcher can give you a realistic timeframe based on current call volume.
- What will this cost me, and will there be surprise charges I wasn't told about?
- Pricing is discussed before any work begins. The technician diagnoses the issue, identifies what is needed, and goes over the cost with you before touching anything. There are no after-the-fact line items added once the job is done. Free estimates are available for system installations.
- Are your technicians licensed and insured? Can you pull permits for my municipality?
- Craft is fully licensed and insured, and all technicians are NATE-certified and factory-trained. Permit requirements vary by municipality across Allegheny County, and Craft is familiar with those local differences. When permits are required for your installation, that is handled as part of the process.
- Do you work on commercial properties, or only homes?
- Craft serves both residential and commercial customers in the Pittsburgh area. The in-house sheet metal shop makes custom ductwork fabrication possible for spaces where standard runs will not work, which matters for commercial layouts as much as older city homes.
- Will you explain what actually went wrong with my system, or just hand me an invoice?
- A technician will walk you through the diagnosis, including what component failed and what caused it to fail. If a part is being replaced, you can see it. Understanding what happened and why is part of the visit, not an afterthought.
