Our Experience With Stroudsburg Heating Systems
Over 95 years of experience in Monroe County have created a strong familiarity with local heating systems and their common maintenance needs. Here’s how Stroudsburg’s conditions affect heating performance:
❄️ Long Pocono Heating Seasons
Heating systems in Stroudsburg run from October through April in most years. January temperatures averaging 17.6°F at night create extended heating cycles. Equipment that has been operating continuously for months develops wear patterns that our technicians recognize immediately.
🏘️ Mixed Heating Types in Older Neighborhoods
Downtown Stroudsburg and established neighborhoods are home to many oil furnaces and boilers installed decades ago. Properties outside borough limits frequently use propane or heat pumps. Natural gas availability varies by street. We service all fuel types and heating system configurations without requiring customers to be referred elsewhere.
🏡 Aging Heating Systems in Historic Properties
Row homes near Ann Street and Main Street often contain original boilers or furnaces installed 20 to 30 years ago. These older systems lack modern efficiency features and safety controls. Regular maintenance extends equipment life and improves safety until replacement becomes necessary.
🔧 Ductwork and Distribution Challenges
Many Stroudsburg properties added forced-air heating systems decades after original construction. Ductwork routed through tight spaces or uninsulated areas loses heat efficiency. Undersized return air often causes furnaces to overheat and short-cycle. Proper maintenance addresses these system-wide issues.

They replaced my furnace quickly and efficiently, completing everything within 24 to 48 hours. No hassle, no surprises—just excellent service.”

“We converted our boiler from oil to natural gas. Communication with their project manager, Jeff, was fantastic. He listened to my desires, ensured I was fully informed on all options available to me, gave me a great price and executed exactly what they said they would. This whole process took only two days, and we were only without hot water for 8 hours. 10/10 recommend.”
– Kyle M.
“Had my Samsung HVAC unit installed less than 2 years ago by RJ Groner. The technicians who did the installation worked smoothly and professionally. Have recently started a maintenance plan with RJ Groner. Was very pleased with the initial checkup. I am very pleased with the service provided by this company and their staff. Highly recommended.”
– Victor B.
