Since 1938
When Memphis winters hit, your home or business needs a heating system you can count on. National Economy Plumbers has delivered reliable heating services in Memphis since 1938, specializing in repair, installation, and maintenance for furnaces, boilers, steam radiators, and heat pumps. Our licensed technicians have restored heat to thousands of Mid-South properties through honest service and skilled workmanship.
Why Memphis Homeowners Count On Our Heating Services
For nearly 90 years, National Economy Plumbers has served Memphis families and businesses through every type of heating challenge. From frozen pipes in historic Midtown homes to failed commercial boilers in Arlington warehouses, we’ve seen it all. Our technicians grew up in this community and understand exactly how Mid-South weather affects older cast iron radiators, aging furnaces, and modern HVAC systems alike.
We’ve built our reputation on showing up when we say we will and fixing problems right the first time. Our service trucks carry parts for the most common repairs, which means we typically restore your heat during the first visit rather than scheduling return trips.
Our Commitment To Quality Workmanship
Every technician on our team holds proper Tennessee licensing and receives hands-on training in both modern equipment and the older heating systems common in Memphis’s historic neighborhoods. We’ve worked in homes built in the 1920s with original steam radiator systems, and we’ve installed state-of-the-art heat pumps in new construction. This range of experience means we can properly diagnose problems that less experienced companies might miss.
When we enter your home or business, we respect your space, evaluate the issue, and explain exactly what we’re doing and why. We don’t believe in selling you services you don’t need.
Residential And Commercial Expertise
We handle heating service for single-family homes, apartment complexes, office buildings, and industrial properties throughout Memphis, Arlington, and the surrounding areas. Our commercial clients include property managers who trust us with entire buildings and business owners who need fast responses when tenants lose heat.
Repair, Installation, And Tune-Ups For All Heating Systems
From emergency repairs to planned replacements, we service furnaces, heat pumps, boilers, floor furnaces, wall furnaces, and hot-water or steam-radiator systems. Our team knows the difference between a simple thermostat issue and a cracked heat exchanger that poses safety risks.
Steam Radiator Heat
Many historic Memphis homes still rely on steam radiator systems installed decades ago. Our technicians understand the unique challenges of these older systems, including air-locked pipes, failed steam traps, and corroded valves. We repair leaks, replace faulty components, and restore even heat distribution throughout your property. Whether you need emergency repairs or routine maintenance, we have the specialized knowledge to keep your steam heat running efficiently.
Hot Water Radiator Heat
Hot water radiator systems provide comfortable, consistent warmth but require proper maintenance and occasional repairs. We service circulator pumps, expansion tanks, zone valves, and radiator components throughout Memphis and surrounding communities. Our team diagnoses issues like cold spots, noisy pipes, and pressure problems that affect system performance. From bleeding radiators to replacing entire boilers, we handle all aspects of hot water heating systems.
Floor Furnace, Wall Furnace, and Space Heater Repair & Replacemen
When your furnace stops working on a cold Memphis night, you need fast, reliable repair service. Our technicians diagnose and fix blower motor failures, ignition problems, cracked heat exchangers, and thermostat issues in gas and electric furnaces. We stock standard replacement parts on our service trucks to complete most repairs during the first visit. Every repair includes safety checks to ensure your system operates safely, free of carbon monoxide and fire hazards.
Gas Pipe Installation
Proper gas line installation requires precision, code compliance, and attention to safety. We install gas piping for new heating systems, water heaters, ranges, and other appliances in homes and businesses throughout Memphis. Our licensed technicians properly size pipes, use approved materials, and test every connection before activation. Whether you’re adding a gas appliance or replacing outdated piping, we ensure safe, code-compliant installations.
Gas Line Pressure Testing
Regular pressure testing identifies leaks and safety issues before they become dangerous. We perform comprehensive gas line pressure tests using professional equipment that detects even minor leaks in your system. This service is essential after any gas line work, for older homes with aging pipes, and as part of routine safety maintenance. Our detailed testing gives you peace of mind that your gas system operates safely and efficiently.
Fast, Same-Day Repairs
We staff emergency lines because we know heating failures don’t wait for business hours. Our dispatchers keep detailed records of your equipment, so when you call, we already know your system type and history. Most Memphis-area customers receive same-day service when they call before noon on weekdays.
Professional Installations For Efficiency
Our installation process starts with proper load calculations for your specific building, not generic guesswork. We measure your space, assess insulation, and account for Memphis humidity levels before recommending equipment. This attention to detail prevents the oversized or undersized installations that waste energy and money.
Seasonal Tune-Ups For Long-Term Savings
Our maintenance visits include burner inspection, heat exchanger checks, gas pressure testing, and safety control verification. We catch issues like cracked combustion chambers before they fail completely or create carbon monoxide hazards.
