From the historic brownstones of Rittenhouse Square to the modern developments near Penn’s Landing, Philadelphia homes showcase a remarkable blend of architectural styles spanning centuries. Whether you’re living in a charming row house in Northern Liberties or a contemporary condo in Center City, your plumbing fixtures work hard every single day to keep your household running smoothly.
The challenge many Philadelphia homeowners face is that beautiful historic properties often come with outdated plumbing fixtures that are inefficient, unreliable, or simply worn beyond repair. Meanwhile, even newer homes in areas like Fishtown and Graduate Hospital can develop fixture problems from daily wear and tear or poor-quality original installations.
When your faucets start dripping constantly, your toilet won’t stop running, or your showerhead barely produces any water pressure, it’s time for professional fixture replacement. That’s where Central Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning comes in as your trusted local solution.
We’ve been proudly serving homeowners and businesses throughout Montgomery County and the greater Philadelphia area for over 13 years. As a locally owned and operated company, we understand the unique plumbing challenges that come with Philadelphia’s diverse housing stock, from century-old homes with original cast iron pipes to modern high-rises with complex water systems.

At Central Plumbing, we specialize in complete fixture replacement services that transform how your plumbing systems function while enhancing the beauty and efficiency of your Philadelphia home. Our experienced technicians have extensive knowledge working with every type of fixture you can imagine, from vintage clawfoot tubs in Queen Village Victorian homes to sleek modern installations in contemporary Fairmount condos.
Our toilet replacement services include everything from standard gravity-feed models to high-efficiency dual-flush systems that dramatically reduce water consumption. We work with leading brands and can install comfort-height toilets, compact models perfect for smaller Philadelphia bathrooms, and EPA WaterSense certified fixtures that help reduce your water bills while supporting environmental conservation.
When it comes to faucet installation and replacement, we handle kitchen sink faucets, bathroom vanity faucets, utility sink fixtures, and specialty installations like pot fillers and soap dispensers. Our team understands the importance of proper water pressure regulation and can recommend fixtures that work optimally with your home’s existing plumbing infrastructure, whether you’re dealing with older galvanized pipes or modern PEX and copper systems.
Our shower and bathtub replacement expertise covers complete bathroom renovations as well as individual fixture upgrades. We install rainfall showerheads, multi-function shower systems, thermostatic mixing valves for consistent temperature control, and modern tub and shower combinations that maximize space in typical Philadelphia row house bathrooms.
We also specialize in sink replacement for kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas. From farmhouse-style apron sinks that complement historic Philadelphia home designs to undermount stainless steel models perfect for modern kitchens, we ensure proper mounting, sealing, and connection to your existing plumbing lines.
Our fixture replacement services extend to garbage disposals, water filtration systems, and specialized installations like laundry tubs and outdoor spigots. We understand Philadelphia’s hard water issues and can recommend and install water softening systems and filtration equipment that protect your new fixtures while improving water quality throughout your home.
Every fixture replacement project includes careful attention to local Philadelphia building codes and permit requirements. Our team stays current with city regulations and ensures all work meets or exceeds municipal standards. We also provide detailed warranties on both our workmanship and the quality fixtures we install, giving you complete peace of mind in your investment.
After 13 years of serving Montgomery County and Philadelphia communities, Central Plumbing has earned a reputation that sets us apart from other local service providers in the area. While many HVAC companies in the region may keep you waiting hours or even days for service, our emergency response time is consistently under 60 minutes, even for complex fixture replacement emergencies like burst toilet supply lines or catastrophic faucet failures.
Unlike other providers in Philadelphia who often surprise customers with hidden fees and unclear pricing, we believe in complete transparency with upfront pricing provided before any work begins. You’ll never experience bill shock with Central Plumbing because we explain exactly what your fixture replacement will cost and why, giving you the information you need to make confident decisions about your home.
Our team’s local expertise makes a significant difference when working on the diverse properties found throughout Philadelphia neighborhoods. While some area plumbers may struggle with the unique challenges of historic homes near Independence Hall or the complex plumbing systems in modern high-rises along the Delaware River waterfront, our technicians have over a decade of experience with every type of Philadelphia property.
Many companies in the region use subcontractors or send technicians from outside the area who aren’t familiar with local building codes or the specific infrastructure challenges common in Philadelphia homes. At Central Plumbing, our own trained and licensed team lives and works in these same communities, understanding everything from the hard water issues that affect fixture longevity to the permit processes required for major installations.
We’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for genuine emergency service, not just limited evening hours like some local competitors. When a fixture failure threatens to flood your basement or leave your family without working plumbing, you can count on Central Plumbing to respond immediately, regardless of the time or day.
Our commitment to quality workmanship means we get the job done right the first time, using premium fixtures and professional installation techniques that ensure years of reliable service. While other companies may cut corners or push quick fixes, we focus on long-term solutions that protect your investment and prevent future problems.
Jennifer, who lives in a beautiful colonial home near Rittenhouse Square, called us last month when her master bathroom faucet started leaking so badly it was damaging her antique vanity. “I called three other companies first, but none of them could come out for at least four days,” she told us. “Central Plumbing had someone at my door in 45 minutes, even though it was a Sunday evening. They not only fixed the immediate leak but recommended a gorgeous new faucet that perfectly matches my home’s historic character. The installation was flawless, and they even helped me select a matching showerhead that has transformed my morning routine.”
Robert, a property manager overseeing several apartment buildings in Northern Liberties, has become one of our regular commercial clients after experiencing our fixture replacement expertise firsthand. “I manage older buildings with constant plumbing issues, and most contractors either can’t handle the complexity or charge outrageous emergency rates,” he shared. “When Central Plumbing replaced an entire bathroom’s worth of fixtures in one of my units, they worked around my tenants’ schedules, completed everything in one day, and charged exactly what they quoted upfront. No surprises, no excuses, just professional work that’s held up perfectly for over a year now.”
Linda contacted us during Philadelphia’s recent cold snap when a frozen pipe burst and destroyed the toilet in her Fishtown row house. “It was 2 AM and water was everywhere,” she recalled. The emergency plumber I called first wanted to charge triple rates and couldn’t guarantee they’d have replacement parts until the following week. Central Plumbing arrived within an hour, shut off the water immediately, and had a new toilet installed by morning. Their technician even noticed that my bathroom sink was starting to loosen and tightened it up at no extra charge. That’s the kind of thorough, caring service you just don’t find with bigger companies.”
Don’t let outdated, inefficient, or broken plumbing fixtures continue to frustrate your daily routines and waste your money on higher water bills.

Most single fixture replacements, such as toilet installation or faucet replacement, can be completed within 2-4 hours depending on the complexity of your existing plumbing and the type of fixture being installed. Central Plumbing’s experienced technicians work efficiently while ensuring every connection is properly sealed and tested. For historic Philadelphia homes with unique plumbing configurations, we may need additional time to ensure compatibility with existing systems, but we always provide accurate time estimates upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Philadelphia’s hard water conditions make it essential to choose fixtures with durable finishes and internal components that resist mineral buildup. Central Plumbing recommends EPA WaterSense certified fixtures that reduce water consumption while maintaining excellent performance. For historic homes in neighborhoods like Society Hill or Old City, we help you select fixtures that complement your home’s architectural character while providing modern efficiency and reliability. We also consider your home’s water pressure and pipe configuration to ensure optimal performance.
Most standard fixture replacements like toilets, faucets, and sinks don’t require permits in Philadelphia when replacing existing fixtures in the same location. However, if you’re moving plumbing lines, adding new fixtures, or making significant changes to your bathroom or kitchen layout, permits may be required. Central Plumbing handles all permit applications and inspections when necessary, ensuring your fixture replacement project meets all Philadelphia building codes and regulations.
Central Plumbing recommends fixture replacement when repair costs approach 50% of replacement cost, when fixtures are over 15 years old and showing multiple problems, or when efficiency improvements could significantly reduce your water bills. In Philadelphia’s older homes, we often find that upgrading to modern fixtures eliminates recurring repair issues while improving water pressure and reducing maintenance. Our technicians provide honest assessments and help you understand the long-term benefits of replacement versus temporary repairs, ensuring you make the most cost-effective decision for your situation.
