What Gary & Son’s does

Gary & Sons, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned home services company headquartered in Falls Creek, Pennsylvania, founded in 1978 by Gary Walborn. The company operates as a direct-to-consumer provider of integrated residential home services across Northwestern Pennsylvania, covering 8 counties (Jefferson, Clearfield, Elk, Clarion, Cameron, McKean, and parts of Centre and Indiana). Service lines span four core verticals: HVAC (furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, central air, ductless mini-splits), plumbing (drain clearing, sewer camera inspection, hydro jetting, water heaters, sump pumps, gas lines, water filtration/softening), residential electrical (lighting, generators, circuit breakers, EV car chargers), and indoor air quality (duct cleaning, humidifiers, dehumidifiers). The company holds top-tier certifications including NATE, Lennox Premier Dealer, and Mitsubishi Elite Diamond Contractor status, and is accredited by the BBB with a 4.8-star rating across 1,000+ verified customer reviews.

The business model is service-call and installation-based revenue, augmented by a recurring subscription component through Annual Planned Service Agreements. Technicians are dispatched from a single Falls Creek headquarters in fully stocked trucks, enabling same-day service and first-visit completion for most repairs. GTM is direct-to-consumer, driven by a 24/7 live answering service, organic SEO via a company blog, online scheduling and quote tools, community events (Total Home Comfort Show), and a strong referral/reputation engine anchored by the company's 45-year brand presence and annual veteran furnace giveaway. Financing partnerships with GreenSky, GoodLeap, and Synchrony reduce friction on higher-ticket installation work. The customer base is entirely residential homeowners; there are no disclosed commercial or enterprise accounts.

The company employs 13 people and operates with no outside funding, parent company, or public listing. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Technology deployment is conventional for the trades: diagnostic camera equipment, hydro jetting machinery, and standard HVAC service tooling — there is no proprietary software platform, mobile app, or API integration in the input data. Brand and community trust, accumulated over more than four decades, constitute the company's primary commercial asset.
