We have used Young & Bowman for many services over the past 10 years - HVAC replacement and routine service, plumbing issues, etc. They always get to us quickly even when other companies tell us it'll be days or a week. They go out of their way to be helpful, they are reliable, friendly, I find their prices fair including when I price compare with other quotes. They have taken the time to teach us a few things about maintaining our home. Going forward Young & Bowman will be my FIRST call, EVERY time, for EVERY service they provide.

We scheduled them to install our faucet and garbage disposal. When we called, we were told to pick any garbage disposal, so we did. When the plumber came he said Moen is the worst brand and then told us we bought the wrong kind, we need cordless. When my fiancé tells him that we were told by the woman he spoke to when he made the appointment we didn't need a specific garbage disposal, he said we can't listen to the office because "they are just two women who don't know what they're talking about".... Yikes!
The plumber was impatient with us for buying the wrong

I couldn't reach the company (not Young and Bowman) which had installed my sump pump and back up battery, and was having issues with the system. I was so desperate for help and called Young and Bowman. I spoke with Dave. the owner.
Dave spent time on the phone, asking questions and trying to find out what the issue was before he sent someone over. In the end, he sent a great serviceman, John LaRocca. He showed up so fast. I was relieved!
John found that the system was running continuously, and was hot! He was very concerned, so he shut it down. Because they did not install the original

I had a really good experience with Kevin of Y & B. He was on-time, polite, considerate of the house and carpet and masked up!. He fixed both issues quickly and corrected and we then review (at my request) our water softener and acid neutralizer. Found that our water was harder than expected and he gave me several repair/replacment alternatives. I'll address those issues later this year. I felt he was offering information and education - not selling. Charges were quite fair too. Thanks, Kevin.

No hot water at 7 am. Called Young and Bowman at 7:45. Was told someone could be out that morning. John arrived around 8:15, diagnosed the problem, had it fixed in 30 minutes.
No runaround, no up-selling, no emergency call charge (even though they were out within an hour of my call).
John was friendly, courteous, and respectful. He answered my many questions with patience and in plain English. I later learned John has only been with the company since November but has been getting similar reviews!

Young and Bowman is definitely a 5 star company!! On a personal level they have responded to every call with service that was professional and delivered in a timely manner. From needing a new water heater to a new faucet to a leaky toilet, to water pipe repair - every technician was at my home quickly, fixed the problem perfectly and the cost was reasonable.
When my faucet needed to be repaired I had to go buy a new one and the technician told me to call as soon as I had it and he would come back that day to install it. He kept that promise and by the afternoon I had a new faucet beautifully installed

Cannot say enough about how awesome and professional these guys are! I got in touch with them on Sunday because my hot water heater was leaking. They got back to me immediately and we started the process of warranty information and hot water heater information. They arrived at my home by 8:30 am and all work was completed by 9:45am. The price was VERY reasonable. They were professional and clean! They are coming back in the spring to do my HVAC maintenance!
Thank you Dave for the great experience!

Went downstairs to do laundry and noticed a wet mark on the ceiling. Recently having surgery and no use of my left arm i lifted a ceiling tile and the water started pouring down. I called around 11:00 and they said they would be out. Around noon I called because I could not keep up with the water. Dave came out and turned the water off. Then John came out found the leak and repaired the pipe all done by 4:00. What an amazing company to do business with. I highly recommend them. Courteous, polite, very professional and caring.

They've done pretty much all the work at my home, and are always reliable and provide quality work. They know all the nuances of my old home, and have been able to make great and honest recommendations for various projects. They most recently installed a garbage disposal in my kitchen as part of a renovation project to install a dishwasher, which the house did not previously have. Young & Bowman were quick, punctual, affordable, and made sure the job was done correctly.

Tried to come in and do business here and the woman at the front desk was miserable - completely turned me off from wanting to work with them. Additionally there's a dog situated at the front door - I'm not a dog person and having to navigate past a dog is not really what I want when I walk into a business. There's plenty of competition for these guys.... I'd go to them.

Called to ask for information and help with a non-working furnace. The technician wanted to come right away and we scheduled a mutually agreeable time. The gentleman arrived promptly ... was courteous and professional. He had my issue diagnosed in 10 minutes ... fixed in another 15 and was on his way. (I considered fixing it myself but would have ordered an unnecessary part.) The service call charge was fair ... not the least expensive but not the most. I've used Y&B in the past and they impress me as honest and reliable.

I have been a long time customer of young and bowman. As a contractor, I have had them on countless jobs over the years both at my own home as well as introducing clients to their company who are still customers. I called and asked them to come and take a look at a problem I had with a thermostat. After asking me to wait a week for service one of the HVAC guys came by the house, informed me that they couldn't do anything and they didn't have time on that day to help because they had another call to attend to. I asked the technician John if there was any charge for the day. He informed

The service techs are good but that's about it
I needed an update to my zone valves paid for the work in advance took about 3 weeks for parts to get in. When they arrived they didn't have all the parts needed. Ended up doing half the job and came back not the next day but a week later. The pump they installed was faulty and made a squealing noise. That took another 2 weeks to get replaced.then I get a bill for the extra time and interest charges
When I call and stated I paid already they told me it was for the new parts. I asked to speak with Dave the owner.he still hasn't ever

My water softener resin tank recently needed to be rebedded. Dave Bowman, the owner of this company, came out and told me that the the manufacturer of my water softener was no longer in business. He provided a quote for $1750.00 to replace the water softener. I looked online and quickly found out that the water softener manufacturer was still in business right here in PA. When I contacted Bowman about his outrageous quote, he started to hem and haw and stammer that he got the faulty information from a distributor. Right! I did not believe his excuse for a minute. I will be kind and say that if

HONEST PEOPLE WHO PUT CUSTOMERS AHEAD OF THEIR OWN SALES, VERY RARE IN THIS BUSINESS!!. I called looking for them to quote me a new Heat/AC system after another outfit crashed my system during a tune-up (of course they would not accept blame for it and blamed the age of the system--and it is old). The owner himself, David Bowman, came and basically showed me that my furnace was not nearly as old as others had lead me to believe and in no way needed replacement, and my AC, though old, had only a minor problem that he fixed himself with a garden hose over about a 45 minute period.

Young and Bowman have been great to me. I was new to the area 2 years ago and they ahve serviced my 120 year old house perfectly. The day before my wedding our well pump died and they came out talk to the neighbor to get water back up and running until they could provide a new well pump. Everyone has been great and timely. I would highly recommend.

Young & Bowman have been our family's plumber for years and years.
They are trustworthy and know their stuff - and they come relatively quickly when its an emergency (and when ISN'T it an emergency when your toilet seriously malfunctions?)
Nice folks. A bit pricey, but great customer service - and they come in the dead of winter to fix those leaky pipes.
