About Us
Three Generations of Keeping Jenkintown Comfortable
Since 1945, Albert E Bachman & Son has been heating and cooling homes and businesses in Jenkintown and the surrounding communities. What began as one man's business, has grown into one of the area's most trusted HVAC contractors. More than 80 years later, it's still family owned and operated, and still right here in town.
Where It All Began
Albert Bachman founded the company in 1945, working from his home in Jenkintown, PA. He built the business the old-fashioned way: honest work, fair prices, and treating every customer like a neighbor, because most of them were.
In the 1980s, Albert's son Gary took over the business. Gary carried forward the standards his father set, growing the company while keeping the personal, hometown service that customers had come to rely on.
Serving Our Community, On and Off the Job
For the Bachman family, serving Jenkintown never stopped at a customer's front door. Albert and Gary were both deeply involved in the Jenkintown volunteer fire department, and both served as fire chief. Gary led the department as chief for a remarkable 45 years, answering calls at all hours to protect the neighbors he also kept warm in winter and cool in summer.
That same commitment to showing up when people need help is part of who we are as a company.
The Third Generation
Today, Gary’s nephew Joe Lahiff, a Penn State graduate, runs the business, continuing the tradition of a family-owned and operated company. Joe brings the skills and values handed down through the family, along with a commitment to continuing education and the latest heating and cooling technology. The name on the truck hasn't changed, and neither has the promise behind it.
