Plumbing and HVAC Services in Ardmore, PA
Ardmore calls itself the Main Street of the Main Line, and about half of its homes were standing before 1940. Heating and cooling in Ardmore, PA can mean keeping a boiler alive in a 1920s twin while adding the air conditioning it never had.
Wendig Plumbing & HVAC is a family-owned company in West Chester, roughly fifteen miles west, and we’ve served Montgomery County since 1984. That covers the Montgomery County side of Ardmore, and the Havertown side of town falls under our Delaware County coverage. We install, repair, and service air conditioners and heat pumps, repair gas furnaces and boilers, and handle water heaters, plumbing repair, and emergency plumbing. A member of our family answers the phone, and the certified technician who comes out doesn’t earn a commission.

Heating and Cooling
AC Installation, Repair, Replacement, and Service in Ardmore
Warm air at the registers, a condenser that hums but won’t start, or a system that runs all afternoon without catching up. We repair central air in Ardmore, replace units that have reached the end, and install new systems sized for the house, twin or detached.
Heat Pump Installation, Replacement, Service, and Repair
We install heat pumps in Ardmore, service them each season, repair the ones stuck in defrost or short cycling, and replace them when another repair no longer pays.
Heating Repair for Gas Furnaces and Boilers
Most Ardmore homes heat with natural gas, by Census estimates, so a furnace that won’t ignite or a boiler losing pressure is the likely call. We diagnose, quote, and repair, and recommend replacement only when that’s the honest answer.

Plumbing and HVAC Needs in Ardmore Homes
Ardmore began as Athensville in 1853 and was renamed by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1873. Here’s what its age and its county line mean for the pipes and equipment inside.
Half the Houses Predate 1940
The typical home in the 19003 ZIP code was built around 1942, by Census estimates, and roughly seven in ten went up before 1960.
A house of that age may still carry galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, and a boiler feeding radiators with no ductwork anywhere. We repipe what’s corroded, keep the boiler running safely, and add cooling with a ductless system or heat pump instead of cutting ducts through plaster.
Twins, Rowhomes, and the Party Wall
Attached houses outnumber detached ones in Ardmore by about two to one, and about one home in eight is in a building of 50 or more units. So a condenser has to fit a side yard measured in feet, a tankless heater has to fit a closet-sized utility space, and a leak on one side of the party wall becomes the neighbor’s problem fast. We plan the placement before the install, not after.
Aqua Water, Cricket Avenue, and the Line You Own
Aqua Pennsylvania supplies Ardmore. On November 3, 2023, an Aqua main broke on Cricket Avenue between Lancaster and Athens avenues, shattering car and apartment windows and leaving dozens without water for hours. Next door in Havertown, Aqua spent $7.1 million in 2022 replacing old cast iron mains.
The main is Aqua’s. The service line from the curb into your basement is yours, and in a 1920s house it may be the original. If it’s leaking or losing pressure, we can inspect and replace it.
Two Townships, Two Sewer Systems
On the Montgomery County side, the township’s wastewater is treated by the city next door and billed by the gallon, so the township has inspected for sump pumps, downspouts, and floor drains tied into the sanitary sewer. On the Havertown side, the township maintains 149 miles of sanitary sewer.
Either way, the lateral from your foundation to the main is yours. We route sump discharge properly and fix the gurgling drains and sewer smell that point to a lateral problem.
Why Ardmore Homeowners Choose Wendig
The same family has run Wendig since 1984, and one of us picks up when you call. Our technicians hold Master Plumbing and Mechanical certifications and keep training as the equipment changes.
Nobody here is paid on commission. The estimate is free, the explanation is plain, and if a repair will carry your boiler through another winter we’ll say so rather than quote a replacement. Hearth financing spreads a new heat pump or central air system into monthly payments.
Ardmore’s local reason is its housing: pre-war twins and rowhomes where old heat has to be kept running and cooling added without wrecking the plaster. One company for both trades means the technician who installed your mini-split already knows the house when the water heater goes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do heat pump installation in Ardmore, PA?
Yes. Installation, replacement, seasonal service, and repair, sized to the house, with the options laid out before you decide.
How do I know whether my Ardmore air conditioner needs repair or replacement?
Age and the failure decide it. A contactor on a ten-year-old system is a repair; a dead compressor on a unit that needs refrigerant every spring is a replacement. We’ll show you both prices.
Do you cover both the Montgomery County and Delaware County sides of Ardmore?
Yes. The Bryn Mawr side falls in our Montgomery County area, the Havertown side in our Delaware County area, and the same technicians handle both.
Will a new outdoor AC unit need historic review in Ardmore?
Interior work never does. The township’s historical review board looks at exterior changes visible from a public way when a permit is pulled inside its districts, and its rules don’t specifically address mechanical equipment. If you’re in the Ardmore Business district, check with the township, and we’ll help place the unit out of view.
What water heater services do you offer in Ardmore?
Installation, repair, and seasonal service, tank and tankless. If the tank itself is weeping, repair is off the table and we’ll quote a replacement sized to the household.
Who do I call for emergency plumbing in Ardmore at night?
After hours, 610-637-7585; during the business day, (610) 431-0621. Burst pipes, sewer backups, and gas line leaks are emergencies to us, often handled the same day.
