Plumbing service available!

For 70 years we have been your trusted HVAC company — and now we can be your trusted plumbing company as well.

We are not new to plumbing. We have been doing commercial installs for years. What is new is that we are now offering both commercial and residential plumbing services. So for all of your HVAC and plumbing needs, contact Buffington Brothers.

Why this is a natural extension, not a new venture

Plumbing has been part of our commercial work for a long time. Commercial mechanical projects rarely separate cleanly — the same job that needs rooftop units and ductwork usually needs gas lines, drains, and water supply. Our crews have been doing that work for years on the commercial side.

Extending it to homes means the plumbers doing your residential work come from a company with a long track record on larger, more demanding commercial installations, and with the same certifications, insurance, and standards we hold on the HVAC side.

What we can help with

Our plumbing work covers the systems that keep water moving through a building:

• Water heaters — conventional tank and tankless, repair and replacement
• Drains and sewer lines — drain cleaning, sewer line work, and diagnosing recurring backups
• Water and gas lines — repair, replacement, and new runs
• Fixtures — faucets, toilets, showers and bathtubs, kitchen and bathroom plumbing, garbage disposals
• Pumps and water treatment — sump pumps, water softeners, and filtration
• Leak detection and pipe repair — including repiping where a system has reached the end of its life
• Backflow prevention for commercial applications

Where plumbing and HVAC overlap more than people expect

These two trades touch each other constantly, and having one company handle both removes the finger-pointing when something sits on the boundary:

• Gas lines feed both the furnace and the water heater. Sizing and pressure matter to both.
• Condensate drains from your air conditioner are plumbing. A blocked one floods whatever sits under the air handler.
• Frozen pipes in a crawl space are often a heating and insulation problem as much as a plumbing one.
• Water heater venting shares flue considerations with combustion appliances.
• Whole-home humidifiers need a water supply and a drain.

One call, one company

The practical benefit is straightforward: one number to call, one company that knows your building, and no coordinating between two contractors who each say the problem belongs to the other.

For commercial customers, it means a single contractor for the mechanical scope on a project rather than managing separate trades.
