Union Township is a large, busy township built out mainly in the postwar years with capes, colonials and ranches, taking in the Vauxhall section on its western side and a university campus near the middle. The Route 22 strip through town is one of the heaviest commercial corridors in the county and drives much of the non-residential work we do here. In the neighborhoods the story is consistent: solid houses of a certain age whose original mechanical systems are well past due.

What We See in Union Township Homes & Buildings
- The postwar cape is everywhere, and the finished upstairs almost always struggles in both seasons because the original system was never meant to serve it.
- Many houses still run first-generation ductwork with a condenser added decades later, which caps how much efficiency a new system can actually deliver.
- Sewer laterals in the older sections are clay or cast iron and are a routine source of slow drains and repeat backups.
Sections of Union Township we serve include Vauxhall, Union Center, along with every other part of the township.

Union Township Plumbing & HVAC FAQs
The second floor of our cape is unbearable in July. What actually helps?
Cape second floors are hot because they take roof heat and get almost no supply air or return. Depending on the house we add returns and rework the supply, insulate and ventilate the roof space better, or put a ductless head upstairs on its own thermostat.
Can we keep our existing ductwork when we replace the furnace?
Frequently yes, if the duct sizing suits the new equipment's airflow. We measure static pressure before the changeout, because installing a good system on ducts that cannot move the air is how people end up disappointed with a brand new furnace.
Our kitchen drain slows down again a few weeks after every cleaning.
That pattern points to grease coated on the pipe wall, which a cable bores through without removing. Jetting scrubs the pipe back to full diameter, and a camera afterward confirms whether the line is clean or has a sag holding water.
