CJ Brubacher has been a prominent name in the heating, plumbing and electrical world for over a century. With a family history steeped in entrepreneurship and success, the Brubacher family has built a legacy that has stood the test of time.

From humble beginnings in the early 1900s, the company has grown and evolved over the years, adapting to the changing times and persistently pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

CJ Brubacher History

Clare Brubacher was determined to realize his dream of owning a business. So, after completing a stint in the plumbing and heating division of M. Weichel and Son in Waterloo during WW1, he purchased the company along with fellow coworker Charles Hemmerly in 1921. Clare became the sole owner two years later, showing his true ambition and entrepreneurship. With his determination and help from many hardworking employees, CJ Brubacher grew into the successful business it is today.

Ralph Brubacher

Clare’s son, Ralph Brubacher, began working for his father’s company in 1947 and ended up taking over the reins in 1965. Clare, a master plumber and pipefitter, taught Ralph everything he knew about business, emphasizing the importance of community involvement for long-term success.

Ralph took these lessons to heart and continued to make CJ Brubacher a prominent fixture in their local community. While hard work and innovative business practices were key factors in the company’s growth, their commitment to community service truly sets them apart from the competition.

CJ Brubacher continued to grow throughout the decades, and in 1994, about 20 years after starting an apprenticeship at CJ Brubacher, Ralph’s two sons, James and Peter, acquired the company.

Today, CJ Brubacher is still family owned and operated. It is run by Kyle Brubacher, Clare’s great-grandson, and it remains a shining example of what can be achieved through hard work, dedication, and a commitment to excellent customer service.

Quality Workmanship & Excellent Customer Service

With a history spanning over a century, CJ Brubacher has established itself as a business that prioritizes quality workmanship and excellent customer service. Throughout many years of service, they have garnered a reputation among customers for providing exceptional products and services. This has not only helped them retain a loyal customer base but also helped them gain new customers through referrals. At their core, the team at CJ Brubacher is committed to providing the best experience possible for all customers, and they strive to do so each and every day.

With deep roots in the community, CJ Brubacher continues to thrive and prosper, serving as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Brubacher family and their unwavering commitment to quality and service.

Sal and Sylvia were attentive and helpful. I was... looking for parts to repair my 10 years old Novo water softener. Either there was a mis-print in the manual or the part number has been updated. They were able to confirm the parts that I need with the manufacturer, after I emailed them the photos.I got my replacement parts the next morning!read more

We called this company while looking to replace... our water heater and spoke with Fran, who was amazing. She helped me figure out what type of unit we currently have and what would work best for our family of four. Fran was incredibly easy to deal with, very friendly, and had a great sense of humor while patiently answering my questions. Based on my experience speaking with her, I would highly recommend this company.read more
