Humble Beginnings: 1984-1987

In August 1984, Steve Spangler and Bob Boyer decided it was time to forge their own path. They formed a partnership, creating Spangler and Boyer Plumbing and Heating. By January 1985, Steve left CC Kottcamp, Inc. to commit full-time to the new venture, with Bob joining in March as the workload increased. Initially, the office was in Steve’s house, equipped with a Commodore 64, a game computer doubling as a word processor. Their warehouse was a garage behind Steve’s parents’ house. Steve and Bob wore many hats, serving as estimators, installers, and the accounting department. In December of that year, they hired their first employee, starting each day with a company meeting at the Shiloh Rutter’s Farm Store.

By 1987, the company had outgrown its initial setup and moved to an old brick building in York, known affectionately as the Crematorium. With 1,400 square feet of office and warehouse space, the company expanded to six employees and included plumbing, HVAC, and minimal service on installations.

Growth and Expansion: 1991-2006

Incorporated in 1991, Spangler and Boyer continued to grow, establishing a complete HVAC service department. By 1996, the need for more space led to a move near Thomasville, next to Briarwood Golf Course. The new location provided 1,200 square feet of office space and 5,600 square feet for warehousing, accommodating 18 employees. To better serve customers, the company began producing its own sheet metal ductwork, leasing an additional 4,000 square feet of shop space.

A decade later, in 2006, a new 18,500 square foot warehouse and sheet metal fabrication shop replaced the old warehouse, and the office area expanded to 2,800 square feet. By this time, the company had grown to over 40 full-time employees.

Leading the Industry: 2006-Present

In the years following, Spangler and Boyer streamlined operations and emerged as a premier plumbing and HVAC company in south-central Pennsylvania. With continued growth, Chad Lamparter, who started with the company in 1999, was appointed Vice President and later became President in 2022.
