Our Story
Budd The Furnace Man & Sons, Inc. was established in 1921 by the late Clement T. (Budd) Clusserath as a residential heating company. Our scope of work has continuously broadened, and at this time residential heating and air conditioning is only a portion of our production. Our name has remained with us due to our early customers, and local residential work is still being completed under the name of Budd The Furnace Man & Sons, Inc. since it has earned an excellent reputation for reliability in our area.
However, the name, while respected locally, does get strange reaction elsewhere and does not convey an accurate overall picture of our firm; therefore, industrial and commercial work, the bulk of our production, is handled by Budd Mechanical Systems Division.
The second generation assumed control in 1950 by the late Gerald T. Clusserath who had the insight and wisdom to continue the growth of the business into the early 90’s.
The third generation assumed control in 1990 by Dana A. (Clusserath) Booth. This generation has fostered the same principles attributing to the continued success of the company, which are excellent customer relations, quality workmanship, integrity, reliability, and recognition of all the people and talent that get us through each and every year.

Client Testimonials:
Denise D. says: “They did an awesome job. Friendly, quick, clean, and priced within our budget. It’s been 2 months now and we are very happy.”
Jesus Z. says: “Service man was professional and detailed. He took apart my unit and cleaned it thoroughly! Secondary heat exchanger was plugged solid thanks to our GSD. Great service and value! Will definitely use for yearly maintenance!”
Michael K. says: “Wow! Budd Mechanical prevented a catastrophic failure of my boiler that began during our coldest snap so far this year (2022). Jason’s expertise, advice, candor and hands-on experience kept us comfortable and in the safety zone. I appreciate that he told us on a Friday night to follow his guidance and await further attention on Monday, because he read the situation correctly and would not have had the necessary replacement parts to remedy the problem until at least then. Budd Mechanical has our back by providing expert and ethical advice that saved me lots of money. When the repairs were done, they were not horrendously expensive and I can rely on my boiler for some years to come. I see why Budd Mechanical has endured in business and done well for over a century with such great workmanship”
Steve C. says: “Great service from the time my call was answered to the follow up when the job was done and the repair man left to his next job. I will continue to use Budd Furnace Man and Son .”
