Philbrick Plumbing, Heating and Cooling was started in 1956 by my grandfather. Just the fact that we have been around for 60 years says a lot about us and the quality we provide.


Today, with the best team in the industry, we continue to grow by reaching new customers, by expanding our breadth of products and services, and by providing memorable customer service to each and every customer. We pride ourselves on quality and that is what we promise to deliver.



My grandfather would be proud of the company we have become over the past several years, and I am honored to lead our team toward a successful future.

"Thank you to our many friends and customers for continuing to use Philbrick Plumbing, Heating and Cooling for all of your plumbing, heating, and air conditioning needs. We look forward to a successful future serving you, our valued customer.” - Philbrick, INC.
