Rohrer’s One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning
HVAC services in Lancaster PA, York PA, Harrisburg PA, West Chester PA and nearby areas.
At heart, we’re a local company and we always have been. Just because One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning trucks can be seen from coast to coast, that doesn’t mean OUR focus lies anywhere other than south-central Pennsylvania. Lancaster County is in our blood and has been since the very beginning. When we were founded in April of 1959 by Harry and his wife Evelyn Rohrer, we were just Harry C. Rohrer Plumbing and Heating. While Evelyn kept the books, Harry did plumbing and HVAC work for his friends and neighbors. Even though we’ve grown in reach, not that much has changed.
Under the leadership of Scott Rohrer, grandson of Harry, we adopted Direct Energy’s One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning mantle. The Direct Energy guarantee of timely, respectful service matched the ethics that had guided our business all along. Joining provided us access to state-of-art technological innovations and expert resources and support.
When it comes down to it, we are still the same family company that began in April of 1959, only now, we can offer our friends and neighbors cutting-edge 21st century resources.

This dog actually smiled with his mouth when we came home. He did about 8 neat tricks. The coolest was from a sitting position, he would fall over and hit the ground like he was dead when I drew my hand from my side, like a pistol. He learned that in less than three days.
