How We're Different

It’s true: all home services companies can look and sound the same.

We think we stand out through three qualities that we deliver to every customer, on every job. These are our “Three C’s,” and we never compromise on them:

Customization

Our work fits like it’s made for your home - because it is. Your heating, cooling, and plumbing are critical to your comfort and safety. They deserve a perfect fit, so that’s what we give you.

We custom design ductwork, equipment housing, piping, you name it. Our goal is to provide heating, cooling, and plumbing so perfect for you that you never notice them. If we’ve done our job well, the results perform beautifully in the background.

Communication

Trust is important in our work, so we emphasize open and frequent communication. We listen to you and respond, from the very beginning of a project.

We explain our work and value your input at every point in the process. You may have been frustrated by communication with other home services providers in the past. That’s not us.

Commitment

The entire Kowalski team – from our leadership to every employee - is committed to providing you with exceptional heating, cooling, and plumbing services.

We stand behind our work and want you to be thrilled with the results. If we don’t deliver, we make it right.

We treat your home like we treat our own, and we’re ready to tackle any projects you have for us.

Our History

Nearly 40 years ago, Walt Kowalski started an HVAC business in Cecil Township, Pennsylvania, and gave it the family name. From the beginning, Walt’s oldest son, Jason, enjoyed spending time on projects, watching and learning.

Eventually, Jason started his formal HVAC training – and then never stopped. Jason made it his mission to develop his knowledge at the pace that the industry kept evolving.

Today Jason runs Kowalski Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing with frequent site visits from Walt, who still likes to check out all the work that goes into our larger projects.

With his dad’s legacy, Jason built Kowalski into a design-focused, customer-centric company that tailors every project. In 2019 Jason expanded the business to include plumbing, bringing on the “other,” spelled-differently Jaison – Jaison Lieberman, our brilliant Master Plumber.

In more than 30 years, Kowalski has seen a lot of change, but we’ve learned that customers will always demand and appreciate quality work from an honest team.

That’s all we strive to be, hopefully for the next 30 years and beyond.

Got a heating, cooling, or plumbing project in mind?

We’d love to hear about it and to welcome you into the Kowalski customer family.
