HVAC Service Built on Straight Talk
Gregg's Heating & Cooling Co provides furnace repair, air conditioner repair, and HVAC inspections for homeowners across the Pittsburgh area, including the North Hills communities around Allison Park. The work is done by Gregg, one technician with a straightforward approach: find out what failed, tell you what it will cost to fix it, and let you decide.
A lot of Pittsburgh-area homeowners have sat through a service call that ended with a quote for a full system replacement. Sometimes that quote is warranted. Often it isn't. Gregg built her reputation on the difference between those two situations, and her customers tend to notice. The repair-first approach isn't a marketing line, it's just how the math usually works out when you're willing to actually look at what's wrong.
Western Pennsylvania's climate makes HVAC equipment earn its keep. Furnaces run hard from the first cold snap through late March. Air conditioners face genuinely humid summers and the kind of abrupt heat that exposes a system that's been sitting idle. Gregg's scheduling is flexible enough to work around commutes and school pickups, and the diagnostic process is clear enough that you'll understand what happened before any work begins.

Client reviews
What our clients say
“My experience with Gregg's Heating & Cooling Company is positive. I first used this company a few years ago as a second opinion when a service man told me I need a new furnace. Gregg's Heating fixed the furnace and now I make sure that they are the only ones I call every year for the furnace checkup...”
Patti Fern·Google review, August 2015
“My furnace stopped working (conveniently in the middle of winter) and Greg was flexible with my work schedule both days (took a day to get the part). The previous company I tried to call told me 4pm was too late to come out to look at it, which is extremely troublesome considering I have a two year old son...”
Angelina Thomas·Google review, August 2021
“Very nice guy. This is the 2nd time we have used Gregg's and he came through both times. C. unit, tested and recharged our Freon due to a very small leak we likely have. He never pushed for us to purchase a whole new unit either! He also went over some furnace questions and gave us knowledge while he was there. Thank you!..”

“Gregg's Heating saved the day. We were quoted over 2900 dollars from Gillece... They said that we had a leak, needed refrigerant, and had to have our inside and outside coils acid cleaned. Gillece strung me along for 3 days until finally I was fed up and found Gregg's Heating. He came first thing in the morning.....”

Common questions
Answers to what clients typically ask before getting in touch.
- How do I know you won't just tell me I need a whole new system when I probably just need a repair?
- Gregg's default is to repair. A full system replacement only makes sense under specific conditions, like a failed heat exchanger on an aging furnace or a compressor failure on a unit with significant refrigerant loss. If your system can be fixed at a reasonable cost, that's what Gregg will recommend. The diagnosis comes first, and you'll understand exactly what the findings are before any recommendation is made.
- Can you come out today or tomorrow if my heat or AC goes out?
- Gregg works to accommodate urgent situations, especially mid-winter furnace failures and summertime cooling outages. Scheduling depends on current demand, but Gregg has come out first thing in the morning for customers who couldn't get another company to respond at all. Call directly to find out what's available and to describe what your system is doing.
- What will this actually cost me, including parts and labor, before you start?
- Pricing is discussed and confirmed before any work begins. The diagnostic visit identifies what's wrong, and you'll receive a clear repair quote that covers parts and labor together. Free estimates are provided so you have a number to evaluate before you commit to anything.
- Are you licensed and insured?
- Yes. Gregg's Heating & Cooling Co is licensed and insured. If your repair or installation requires a permit in your municipality, that can be discussed when you call so there are no compliance surprises after the work is done.
- Can you work on my existing equipment, or will you push me toward a specific brand?
- Gregg works on most major brands and is not tied to selling a particular manufacturer. The recommendation on any replacement, if one is ever genuinely needed, is based on what fits your home, your existing setup, and your budget, not on what a distributor relationship incentivizes.
- How do I know the diagnosis is real and not something made up to justify a big bill?
- The diagnostic process is transparent. Gregg walks through what was checked, what the findings were, and what component failed or is failing. If a part needs replacing, you'll understand why. Customers who have gotten very different quotes from larger companies have found that Gregg's assessment often comes down to a straightforward fix that didn't require thousands of dollars of work.
