Lehighton Family-owned business grows from van to store front

A family-owned heating, cooling and plumbing business is expanding. 

After 25 years operating out of his home, Louis Accardi, owner of Home Comfort Solutions LLC, will open a shop at 325 Cypress St., Lehighton. 

A ribbon cutting is planned for June 13 and a grand opening is set for June 17. 

 “This move is a long time coming,” said Accardi. “We have grown a lot over the last few years and it’s nice to expand out of running the business from home.”  

What began as Accardi working by himself out of one van, has expanded into a family business.  

“Over the years, we have added my mom and wife in the office and my son and uncle out in the field,” Accardi said. “Without the help of my family, none of this growth would have been possible.” 

Located in the heart of Lehighton Borough, the new office will provide a place for customers to meet with staff and see a variety of equipment the business offers, he said.  

There will also be a training facility located in the lower level, which will offer local technicians the opportunity to receive further training and instruction without having to travel out of Carbon County.
