Services
Back in 1947, Joseph Frederick started a small plumbing business on his front porch in Brack-Ex, on the edge of Elsmere. In April of 2014, brothers Brian and Robbie Frederick celebrated the 68th anniversary of Joseph Frederick & Sons, which has grown and expanded from a "one-man, one-truck" business into a multimillion-dollar organization, providing residents of the Delaware Valley with plumbing, heating, cooling, and electrical services.
Joseph Frederick and Sons installed our new HVAC system. It didn't work as expected, but they were committed to making us happy! They certainly went above and beyond to make sure the new equipment was working properly and that everything in our old house was done correctly (which of course it wasn't!).
A dripping faucet can waste gallons of water and hundreds of dollars. A constantly running toilet can keep you awake at night. Even minor plumbing leaks can cause extensive property damage. When you experience any difficulties with your plumbing, from drain and sewer, to water heaters and failing toilets, trust the experts from Joseph Frederick & Sons.
The licensed electricians from Joseph Frederick & Sons are your qualified source for electrical services. With safety as a priority, we handle new installation, remodeling projects, upgrades, wiring, maintenance, repair solutions, generators, and more. All jobs are completed quickly and with careful regard to your home and property.
Tim did a fantastic job today. He diagnosed the problem quickly and fixed it efficiently. He was very knowledgeable and professional. This company has done plumbing and HVAC work on our home and we could not speak more highly of them. The invention of air conditioning all began in 1902 as Willis Carrier stood in a foggy train platform in Pittsburgh.

We have been using Joseph Frederick and sons for 15 years and they NEVER disappoint. Our AC went out yesterday and they fixed it promptly today without issue! The office staff answering the phones are knowledgeable and friendly. Kevin (who typically does our service) is the absolute BEST!! He will stay late at work to be able to squeeze us in. The epitome of professional! Thanks :-)

Joseph Frederick and Sons does what it takes to get the job done. Our tech came out 3 times when our issue didn't resolve after the first visit, and we were only charged for the service fee for the first visit.

All around excellent service. Called about broken furnace, had a tech out same day. Quickly diagnosed problem and had us up in running quickly. Our tech, David, was super helpful throughout the process and we couldn’t be happier to have heat again!

I got two split systems AC installed for my upstairs and it solved a long problem ,it is so comfortable now . I no longer have to put window AC units in my windows anymore. The system jos. Frederick put in are very quiet .you barely hear it. The guys who put it in were Roger and Rudy and they were very friendly clean and respectful . Showed up on… time and finished the job when they said they would. It was hot as hell so hats off to those guys working in the attic to get it done. My dad (in heaven) always used Joseph Frederick and sons and he would be happy Use there services also . If your

Lived without heat for most of the weekend and paid for an emergency visit on Sunday. Had to order a new ignition. Spent $100 extra to get it here by today, Tuesday. Had the new part installed at 3:30 pm. Worked until about 8:30 and now it's broke again. Pretty sure $1100 plus emergency visit cost is not a deal for 5 hours worth of heat. And now we get to sleep without heat for yet another night!!!

My 15-year-old AC began to fail just before the beginning of a predicted long and severe heat wave. After doing some quick but extensive research into repair vs. replace, and into the various makes, models, and installers, I decided ultimately to purchase a new Carrier AC from Jos. Frederick & Sons. My decision was based in large part on my having… had the pleasure to work with Mr. Bud Thompson, who I found to be very professional, knowledgeable, and forthright. I felt that he was truly advising me rather than just trying to sell to me. The AC was installed in just a couple of days and

Had Ken W (HVAC PM Tech) come to my home this morning- Spring AC tune-up. He also serviced my home in the Fall for Winter Heat tune-up. What a pleasure it was to have someone so knowledgeable, experienced and confident to take care of business. He was the most thorough associate that has ever been to my home. He checked and cleaned the equipment as… if it was his own home. Answered questions, and recommended helpful hints to keep my equipment running well into the future. Ken, I certainly appreciate your attention to detail. Joseph Frederick & Sons "HomeRun". Thank You

I have had service calls and my HVAC system replaced by Joseph Fredrick and sons. I am so happy with the work, and the service technicians are wonderful. I thought I needed a new hot water heater, and when the service tech looked at it, he was honest and told me it was fine. That means so much when you can trust the company to be honest.

Great service and Bobby is the best. Also know you are getting the real story with Frederick & Sons and not just trying to sell you a product/service you don't need. Looking forward to having them install our new system also when we need it.
