Plumbing and HVAC Services in Oxford, PA
Oxford sits in the far southwestern corner of Chester County, and Wendig Plumbing & HVAC has served Chester County homes since 1984. We’re a family-owned shop based in West Chester, and we bring heating and cooling work in Oxford, PA, along with plumbing repairs, water heaters, and well pumps, to the borough and the farm townships around it.
If the furnace quits on a cold morning or the well pump stops in July, one call reaches a member of our family rather than a call center. The technician who shows up is certified, isn’t paid on commission, and will walk you through the problem and the price before touching a thing.

Heating and Cooling Services in Oxford, PA
Here is what we handle for Oxford homes, starting with heating and cooling and moving on to plumbing. Every service below links to a page with more detail.
HVAC Repair, Installation, and Service
HVAC Repair and Installation
Furnace short cycling, a boiler that knocks, a heat pump stuck in defrost: we diagnose it, quote it, and fix it. When a system is past saving, we size and install a replacement that fits the house instead of the biggest unit on the truck.
Air Conditioning Repair and Service
Warm air at the vents or a unit that runs all afternoon without catching up usually means a refrigerant, airflow, or electrical problem. We repair central air conditioning in Oxford and install new systems when repairs stop making sense.
Heat Pumps
A heat pump gives you heating and cooling from one outdoor unit and can carry most of the load for a home that currently heats with propane or oil. We install, repair, and service them.
HVAC Maintenance
A spring cooling check and a fall heating check catch worn parts before the first real cold snap. You don’t have to remember the dates. We mail a reminder when yours is coming up.
Ductless Mini-Splits
Many of the borough’s older houses were never ducted. A ductless system cools and heats individual rooms with no new ductwork and no cutting into plaster walls.
Emergency HVAC
Heat out in January or AC down in a heat wave counts as an emergency to us. Call the main line during the day, or 610-637-7585 after hours, and we’ll get a technician out as soon as we can, often the same day.
Plumbers in Oxford for Repairs and Replacements
Well Pumps and Water Filtration
Sputtering faucets, falling pressure, or no water at all point to a tired well pump or pressure tank. We replace both, and we install filtration and softening for well water that stains, smells, or tastes off.
Water Heaters
Most tank water heaters give out somewhere between 8 and 12 years. We repair what can be repaired and replace what can’t, with tank and tankless options sized for your household.
Leak Detection and Pipe Repair
Old galvanized lines, a damp spot on the ceiling, a water bill that jumped: we find the leak, fix the section, or repipe the house in copper or PEX when the original plumbing is done.
Kitchen, Bathroom, and Drain Plumbing
Running toilets, dripping faucets, slow drains, new sinks and fixtures. The everyday jobs get the same care as the big ones.
Emergency Plumber
A burst pipe or a sewer backup can’t wait for Monday. If you need an emergency plumber in Oxford, call us; for emergencies we can often come out the same day.
Plumbing and HVAC Needs in Oxford Homes
Oxford is a historic borough surrounded by some of the most actively farmed land in the county. The age of your house and whether you’re on borough water or your own well decide most of what we see here.
Queen Anne and Italianate Homes Downtown
The Oxford Historic District joined the National Register in 2007 with 517 contributing buildings, most of them put up between 1870 and 1910. About a quarter of the borough’s homes date from before 1940.
Houses from that era often still carry galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, and radiator heat with no ductwork. We repipe, service old boilers, and add ductless cooling without tearing into original walls.
Borough Water and the New Smart Meters
Oxford Borough runs its own water system from borough wells, topped off with a small amount bought from the Chester Water Authority. The borough has been swapping old meters for smart meters that can flag a sudden jump in usage, which is often the first sign of a leak.
If your new meter or your bill says water is moving when nothing is on, we’ll track it down, whether it’s a toilet flapper, a line in a wall, or the service line out to the street.
Wells, On-Lot Systems, and Propane Tanks in the Townships
Outside the borough, most rural homes in the Oxford region are on private wells and on-lot sewage. A dead well pump means no water in the house, so we treat those calls as urgent.
Roughly a third of homes in the 19363 ZIP code heat with propane or fuel oil. We service and repair oil furnaces and boilers, and if you’re tired of watching the tank gauge, ask about a heat pump; it can take over most of your heating and all of your cooling.
Why Oxford Homeowners Choose Wendig
Same family since 1984. A member of that family picks up the phone, and the technicians who come out hold Master Plumbing and Mechanical certifications and keep training on new equipment.
Nobody on our crew earns commission. That changes the conversation at your kitchen table: you get a straight diagnosis, a free estimate, and the option to say no. When a bigger job needs it, Hearth financing spreads the cost into monthly payments.
Oxford is about as far southwest as Chester County goes, and we’ve never treated it as an afterthought. Because we do plumbing, heating, and air conditioning under one roof, a well pump in March and an AC tune-up in May can be the same familiar truck in the driveway.
Areas We Serve Around Oxford, PA
We serve Oxford Borough and the whole 19363 ZIP code, from the Octorara Creek on the west to Big Elk Creek on the east.
We serve the rest of southern Chester County too, including Avondale, about 11 miles east, and Kennett Square, about 15 miles east. If your road isn’t listed, call (610) 431-0621 and ask. We’ll give you a straight answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer HVAC repair and installation in Oxford, PA?
Yes. We repair furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, and central air in Oxford, and we install replacement systems when the old one isn’t worth another repair. You’ll see the estimate before we order anything.
Do your plumbers in Oxford work on well pumps?
Yes. Well pumps, pressure tanks, pressure switches, and the filtration or softener that goes with well water are routine work for us, since so much of the Oxford region is on private wells.
Can a heat pump replace my propane or oil heat?
Often, yes. A modern heat pump can handle most of the heating season on its own, and it can be paired with your existing furnace for backup on the coldest nights. We’ll look at the house and tell you which setup makes sense. If you’d rather stay with oil, we’ll keep that furnace or boiler running too.
Do you serve the townships outside Oxford Borough?
Yes. The townships that share the 19363 ZIP code are all part of our service area, along with the borough itself.
What does HVAC maintenance in Oxford include?
Two visits a year: a cooling tune-up in spring and a heating check in fall. We clean, test, and inspect the system, replace the filter, and tell you honestly if anything is wearing out. A reminder card arrives in your mailbox when it’s time.
