Family-run plumbing and HVAC for Cherry Hill Township since 1962. We install, repair, and stand behind every furnace, condenser, and fixture we touch — same truck, same name, three generations in.
Harold W. Scharr bolted his first boiler together in 1962 out of a single shop on Route 70. His son took the wheel in 1989, and today his grandson runs the same trucks through the same Cherry Hill neighborhoods — fixing the same furnaces his grandfather installed, half a century later.
We are not a franchise, a call center, or a lead-generation service. When you call Scharr & Son, you reach the owner — and the owner is the one who shows up at your door. Every job, from a dripping shutoff valve to a full HVAC retrofit, is signed off by a licensed master plumber or master HVAC tech. No subcontractors, no surprises on the invoice, no fine print.
Pulled a 1998 carrier unit and dropped in a two-stage 80k BTU system with a smart thermostat. Cut the gas bill by a third in the first winter.
Replaced a dead condenser on a Barclay Farms colonial with a 16-SEER inverter unit. Same-day changeout, no overtime charge.
Retired a 50-gallon tank and hung an Energy Star tankless on an exterior wall. Endless hot water, half the gas usage.
Swapped failing polybutylene for Type-L copper across a 2.5-bath Springdale split. Two-day turnaround, walls patched.
Annual service on a 1980s Burnham boiler. Cleaned the heat exchanger, replaced the spill switch, bled every radiator.
Frozen split on a second-floor supply line. Truck rolled in 38 minutes, isolation and repair complete by 4:15AM.
Indicative pricing for the most common jobs we run in Cherry Hill, Haddonfield, and Marlton. Final quotes are always written, itemized, and locked before any tool comes out of the truck. No surprise line items, ever.
Three things have kept this shop running since the Kennedy administration. They sound simple — and they are. They are also the things most contractors skip.
Call before noon and a tech is at your door that day, most days. Emergency line picks up at 2AM the same as 2PM.
Master Plumber #NJ-12784, Master HVAC tech on staff, $2M liability. Every permit pulled, every inspection passed.
Itemized estimate before any work starts. The number on the paper is the number on the invoice — even if the job runs long.
Two-year labor warranty on every install, on top of manufacturer coverage. If it leaks, we come back. No charge, no argument.
Marcus still runs calls. The person who quotes your job is the person who swings the wrench — not a salesman on commission.
Shop is ten minutes from anywhere in town. We know the housing stock — the galvanized runs, the slab leaks, the old Burnham boilers.
Every line item, every part number, every labor hour — listed and explained. You see exactly what you're paying for, before you pay.
Real dispatcher, real tech on call. Not a voicemail tree, not an answering service reading a script. A plumber picks up.
Send a few details about the job — symptom, age of the system, anything you've already tried. We'll come back same business day with a real estimate and a real arrival window. For after-hours emergencies, call the line below — don't wait on the form.
