Claim This BusinessAbout Applause Plumbing & Heating
Applause Plumbing & Heating maintains a 4.9-star rating from 112 client reviews, anchoring its reputation across the Lehigh Valley corridor in Pennsylvania and the Phillipsburg border region in New Jersey. Operating from a base in Nazareth and neighboring Tatamy, the company has served homeowners in Bath, Bethlehem, Easton, Forks Township, and the Warren County communities of Phillipsburg and Stewartsville since 2003. The business pairs two decades of continuous operation with over 25 years of combined Master Plumber experience, offering both plumbing repairs and heating system installation throughout these municipalities.
What distinguishes this contractor is a financing structure that removes the upfront cost barrier for major equipment purchases. The company offers 0% interest financing on new heaters and boilers, making energy-efficient replacements accessible to homeowners who might otherwise delay a purchase. Their service menu spans traditional plumbing repairs alongside boiler and furnace work, treating both trades under a unified operation. The team emphasizes arriving on time, containing their workspace, and leaving the property clean, practices that generated repeat recommendations across reviewer feedback.
Reviewers consistently reference a technician named John who handled water heater replacements across multiple homes in Tatamy and Nazareth. One client described a same-day quote followed by next-day installation of a relocated water heater, completed within three hours. Another noted John arrived at approximately 6:00 PM and worked until 8:30 PM on an overflowing tub and rotted piping situation. Multiple reviewers appreciated that John explained his work and permitted homeowners to observe the process, including responses to questions about a frost-free spigot installation.
What Customers Say
Six of seven reviewers specifically mention John as the service technician, describing consistent same-day or next-day response times, thorough explanations, and workspace cleanliness. All reviews are five-star ratings, with water heater replacement being the most frequently cited service across feedback.
