One Licensed Team for All of Pittsburgh. Since 2010.
Pittsburgh’s housing stock is the most varied in the region, and we service all of it: Victorian-era homes with one-pipe and two-pipe steam boilers in Shadyside and Lawrenceville, post-war ranches across the South Hills with their original forced-air furnaces and cast iron drains, and newer construction in the northern suburbs running high-efficiency two-stage systems. Our technicians carry parts and training for every vintage.
One call covers all three trades. The heating and cooling Pittsburgh PA team that fixes your furnace is the same licensed company that clears your main sewer line and upgrades your electrical panel. One license, one warranty, one accountable team, and because we run all three trades we catch the problems single-trade contractors miss: the flue issue behind the water heater, the undersized circuit behind the new AC condenser.
Why Pittsburgh Homeowners Choose Machi.
All Neighborhoods, All Systems
From Squirrel Hill steam radiators to Cranberry heat pumps, we service every system type Pittsburgh’s housing stock contains, with Manual J sizing on every replacement and parts stocked for the brands this region actually runs.
24/7 Live Dispatch
No-heat in January and no-cooling in July are dispatched immediately at all hours, including holidays. A live dispatcher answers (866) 962-7160, never an answering machine, and quotes the after-hours fee before a truck rolls.
Three Trades, One Call
HVAC, plumbing, and electrical under one roof means no coordinating three contractors and no finger-pointing between them. More than 2,000 Pittsburgh customers have used us across at least two trades.
What Service Costs in Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh homeowners ask for numbers first, so here they are. Furnace repairs run $150 to $600 for common failures like igniters, flame sensors, and blower capacitors, and a full gas furnace replacement runs $3,200 to $5,800 installed. AC repairs typically land between $200 and $650 after an $89 diagnostic. A tank water heater replacement runs $1,100 to $2,400 installed, drain cleaning starts at $150, sewer camera inspections run $150 to $300, and a 200-amp electrical panel upgrade runs $1,800 to $3,500 depending on the existing service.
After-hours emergency dispatch adds $89 to $175 depending on the time and day, quoted on the phone before a truck rolls. Every job starts with a written quote you approve first, and 0% financing is available on qualifying installations with same-day approval. Current federal efficiency tax credits for furnaces, heat pumps, and water heaters are listed at ENERGY STAR.
Every Pittsburgh Service Call We Handle.
Heating and Cooling Services Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh sees roughly 5,900 heating degree days a year, so heating is the season that matters most. We repair and replace gas, oil, and electric furnaces, service steam and hot-water boilers common in pre-1950 neighborhoods, and install cold-climate heat pumps rated to -13 degrees.
Pittsburgh Plumbing Services
Pittsburgh’s older plumbing infrastructure means galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, and clay tile sewer laterals with root intrusion. We camera-inspect sewer lines before quoting and stock standard tank water heaters for same-day replacement.
Pittsburgh Electrical Services
Pittsburgh’s pre-1970 homes frequently run 100-amp panels, including Federal Pacific Stab-Lok models with documented failure risks. Our licensed electricians upgrade to 200-amp service and are the area’s Kohler authorized dealer for standby generators.
- Electrical panel upgrades to 200 amp
- Federal Pacific and Zinsco replacement
- Kohler standby generator installation
- Level 2 EV charger installation
- Whole-home surge protection
- Lighting, outlets, and new circuits
Serving Every Pittsburgh Neighborhood.
From our base in West Mifflin we cover the whole region. South Hills: Bethel Park, Mt. Lebanon, Whitehall, Brentwood, Baldwin. Mon Valley: McKeesport, Duquesne, Homestead. East: Monroeville, Penn Hills, Plum Borough, Murrysville. North: Ross Township, McCandless, Shaler, Hampton, and Cranberry Township. City neighborhoods including South Side, Squirrel Hill, Oakland, and Bloomfield. Washington County addresses in Canonsburg, Peters Township, and Washington are served on call confirmation.
The Pittsburgh service calendar is predictable, and we staff for it. March and April bring sump pump and spring drainage calls as the rivers rise. June and July are AC repair season, and the first cold snap in October fills the schedule with no-heat calls and furnace tune-ups. Book your furnace tune-up in September and your AC tune-up in April, before the rush, and you will never meet the emergency rate.

Pittsburgh Heating and Cooling FAQs.
Questions we hear before every first service call. Can’t find yours? Call (866) 962-7160 — a live dispatcher answers 24/7.
Does Machi Mechanical serve all Pittsburgh neighborhoods?
Yes. We serve the City of Pittsburgh and all of Allegheny County, plus select Washington and Westmoreland County addresses. That includes the South Hills, North Hills, Mon Valley, and eastern suburbs, with the fastest response times closest to our West Mifflin base. Call (866) 962-7160 to confirm your address.
How fast is emergency heating and cooling response in Pittsburgh?
Emergency no-heat and no-cooling calls are dispatched immediately, 24/7 including holidays. Arrival typically runs 30 to 90 minutes depending on your distance from our West Mifflin base, and a live dispatcher quotes the after-hours fee of $89 to $175 before a truck rolls.
How much does furnace repair cost in Pittsburgh?
Most Pittsburgh furnace repairs run $150 to $600 depending on the failed part. Igniters, flame sensors, and blower capacitors sit at the lower end. A full gas furnace replacement runs $3,200 to $5,800 installed, and you get a written quote before any work begins.
What is the $5,000 rule for HVAC?
Multiply the repair quote by the system’s age in years. If the result exceeds $5,000, replacement usually makes more financial sense than repair. A $500 repair on a 12-year-old furnace scores $6,000, so we would walk you through replacement options alongside the repair quote.
Do you work on steam boilers in older Pittsburgh homes?
Yes. One-pipe and two-pipe steam systems are common in Pittsburgh’s pre-1950 housing stock, from Shadyside and Lawrenceville to the Mon Valley boroughs. We repair and replace steam and hot-water boilers and keep parts for the systems this region actually runs.
Can one company handle HVAC, plumbing, and electrical in Pittsburgh?
Yes. Machi Mechanical is a licensed multi-trade contractor, so the heating and cooling Pittsburgh PA team that repairs your furnace can also clear your drains and upgrade your electrical panel. One call to (866) 962-7160 covers all three trades with one warranty.
How much does it cost to replace a furnace for a 2,000 square foot house in Pittsburgh?
$3,200 to $5,800 installed for most 2,000 square foot Pittsburgh homes, typically an 80,000 to 100,000 BTU unit sized by a Manual J calculation. A useful test is the $5,000 rule: multiply the repair quote by the furnace’s age, and if the result tops $5,000, replacement usually beats repair.
