In 1921 a young Thomas Zimmerman Sr. came to Allentown to learn the plumbing trade. Within a few years' time not only had Tom acquired his license, but also he bought Allentown Plumbing & Heating from his teacher and mentor. So in 1924 with a hand pushed wagon full of plumbing tools and a four digit phone number a family business and legacy were born and is proudly still functioning today. In the nineteen sixties the business was taken over by Tom’s son, Thomas Jr., who is still active in the company as President today.

   In 1994 Allentown Plumbing & Heating became a corporation. Now eighty-four years later time and technology may have changed the way business is conducted. But here at Allentown Plumbing & Heating we continue to serve the Lehigh Valley with the same old time work ethic, character and integrity that has built and maintained this company through the years.


   It is our belief that the same honesty, integrity and hard work that our founder used to start and grow this company should be the same values and ethics we follow today. Even though the times have changed these basic principles are still what we follow today.

   At Allentown Plumbing & Heating Co. we know that our valuable customers are the reason we are here and not the other way around. That is why we plan to do everything possible to insure that our customers are 100% satisfied with any job that is done, whether it is a simple faucet repair to the most complex commercial job. We are here for our customers.

Allentown Plumbing & Heating is a family owned and operated business and we hope that we can make your family part of ours!
